Ship It! Launches in the Apple app store

UK-based innovator launches new maritime game for iPhone/iPod touch.

London, UK (10 August, 2009): Specialist maritime eLearning provider Coracle, www.CoracleOnline.com has launched a new maritime game for the iPhone/iPod touch applications.

The game, entitled “Ship It!” helps players understand four basic types of ships, their related cargo, and relative loading times. The ultimate goal is to manage all ships and cargo in the most efficient manner, while having fun.

“This learning-based game from Coracle has the goals of being both educational and lots of fun for anyone who likes App Store games,” states James Tweed, founder of Coracle. “This game is a great way to promote the maritime industry whilst demonstrating that we can use this platform to build simulated training modules.”

Players can interact with one another via the Ship It! blog: http://shipit.coracleonline.com/

With Coracle’s Maritime Glossary app already in the iTunes App Store and a Ports Information app due to launch later in August, Coracle is building on the success of their hugely popular maritime podcasts (www.ShippingPodcasts.com)

Coracle is the leading online training provider to the shipping industry and is the exclusive online provider to The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers. A demo of Ship It! may be found on You Tube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjgsVni6inA
