SHIP Version 4 had various Modbus protocols included for basic data exchange between the host and the SIM.  This protocol was available over SPI and USB. A proprietary protocol over USB enabled updating of the GUI Cargo from SHIPTide, but engine updates had to be performed in various platform-specific ways, sometimes involving a JTAG programmer.

The SHIPBridge Protocol, included in SHIP Version 5 (SHIPv5), is a new protocol developed by Serious for communications between the SIM and attached host.  It has the following key features:
 
−
* Light, efficient protocol
 
−
* Can run over USB, UART, SPI, and in the future, TCP/IP
 
−
* Remote file access over-the-wire without a file system stack on the host
 
−
* Firmware, cargo, and boot loader updates over-the-wire
 
−
* Rich data type exchange over-the-wire
 
−
* No cost, portable reference source code to be published for the "host" side
