The invention discloses an anchor cable simulation control system for a ship, wherein the anchor cable simulation control system belongs to the technical field of ships. The anchor cable simulation control system comprises the components of an input module which is used for receiving an operation instruction that is input by a user, wherein the operation instruction comprises a setting instruction which functions on a configuration interface, an anchor operation instruction which functions on an anchor control interface and a cable operation instruction which functions on a cable control interface; a control module which is used for determining the anchor operation interface and the cable operation interface according to the setting instruction, and determining a current anchor cable state according to anchor state data and cable state data; a display module which is used for displaying the configuration interface, the anchor control interface, the cable control interface and the current anchor cable state; an execution module which is used for generating the anchor state data according to the received anchor operation instruction and generating the cable state data according to the cable operation instruction; and a data interface module which is used for transmitting exchanged data between the control module and the execution module. The anchor cable simulation control system is suitable for simulating different kinds of ships and furthermore has high versatility.
