Objectives

• On completion of this course Student should be highly competent to carry out the Navigational tasks related to the Mathematical Methods of Sailing, the different tide calculations, the use of various Admiralty Publications and understanding the concept of Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS)

Outcomes

• identify the effect of incorrect calculation of tide on the vessel's safety.• extract all data needed from publication At the end of the course, students should be able to:• understand sailing types.• understand the tide phenomena and its effect on the vessels safety• consider the critical cases (passing over shoal – passing under bridge -Grounding and time to re-float) affected by the change of sea level caused by tide. distinguish between the various types of sailing using mathematical calculations• use the various nautical publications when planning a voyage.• demonstrate the ECDIS functions and usage.
