- 8 How does a nautical chart help with navigation?
In chart navigation, use the scales on the right or left side to find latitude. These scales are broken down into degrees, minutes and tenths of a minute, or degrees minutes and seconds. One degree of latitude equals sixty minutes; one minute of Latitude equals sixty seconds. 50″ / 6 = 0.8′ (rounded off).
How do you plot a ship position?
This is the first position line at 2000 Hrs. Take the second bearing of same object when it is abaft the beam. Say this time we take the bearing at 2020 and the bearing is 300 Degrees. Plot it on chart.
What is a navigation map used for?
The term “navigation map” represents the route instructions, as it were, throughout the conceptual model. The conceptual navigation map shows “routes” the user can or is required to take through the configuration to perform and conclude all the required steps for accomplishing a goal.
What is plotting in maritime?
Plotting is the process of keeping track of the position of a vessel over time. This is done by recording the successive positions of the vessel in the nautical chart. The position can be obtained by dead reckoning or by taking bearings from prominent charted landmarks and constructing Lines-of-Position.
How to plot a course on a chart:
- Draw a line from point A to B – using parallel rules, from starting mark to next mark.
- Check the line for safety – if not, move end mark until you get a safe leg.
- Measure and mark the heading – transfer the leg to compass.
- Measure and mark the distance – measure the legs.

What is the purpose of voyage planning?
A voyage plan (or passage plan) is a comprehensive, berth to berth guide, developed and used by a vessel’s bridge team to determine the most favorable route, to identify potential problems or hazards along the route, and to adopt bridge management practices to ensure the vessel’s safe passage.
The study line ‘Mapping and Navigation’ focuses on both collection and use of data. Graduates will be able to develop tomorrow’s maps for urban planning and climate change adaptation and develop more accurate services and applications for navigation, which can be used in, e.g. the transport sector.
Navigation is the art and science of determining the position of a ship, plane or other vehicle, and guiding it to a specific destination. 4 – 12+ Geography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Human Geography, Physical Geography, Social Studies, World History.
What is plotting navigation?
When do you need to use radar plotting?
If you haven’t been practicing radar plotting, you may find it difficult to navigate the ship safely in this situation. This is not the only situation where navigators need to rely on radar plotting. Even when your ARPA is working, you may notice that the radar is not holding on to the some of the targets.
Navigation is traveling a planned course from start to finish, using the chart to avoid obstacles and hazards. To understand how to do this, you need to understand how we refer to places in the world.
And the water may cover hazards like rocks and shoals that you need to avoid. Eyeballing a lighthouse on land won’t help you miss a shoal unless you know where the shoal is relative to your boat. A nautical chart shows things under water and describes the landmarks and references you can see.
How is the turn bearing plotted in navigation?
The turn bearing is plotted on an appropriate aid to navigation and is marked “ TB ”. As you pass the object its bearing will slowly change and only when it reaches the turn bearing turn the vessel on her new course.
