Course Objectives: | This course forms part of the proposed Modular Framework for vocational and professional qualification in Navigation. The Program gives students an in-depth expertise of managing a merchant ship as a Deck Officer and ultimately as the captain of the vessel. The emphasis is upon nautical systems and topics and their applications in a ship navigating in coastal waters. |
Course Content: | 1. To introduce students to the navigational terms and definitions and terrestrial coordinate system. 2. To introduce students to various tools used for navigation, chart and publications and their correction procedures 3. To introduce students to the concept of the range and bearing and calculation of courses and distances at sea. 4. To orient students to the earth magnetism, to the use of magnetic compass and gyro compass and their errors and corrections. 5. To develop an understanding and proper use of navigational aids 6. To provide students with opportunities to develop basic chart work skills in respect to chart composition, working neatly and accurately, position and position line plot and course drawing. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Recognize the planar coordinate system and understand navigation terms and definitions. 2) Use navigational tools, charts, and publications, and perform their corrections. 3) Determine courses and calculate distances and bearings. 4) Understand and use gyro and magnetic compasses and correct compass errors. 5) Recognize the concept of coastal navigation and utilize navigational aids. 6) Use charts, perform piloting, and gain skills in chart corrections and navigational publications. |
