This book focuses on Coastal and Ocean Navigation with an emphasis on
digital navigation (using ECDIS) and would be useful to both
experienced seafarers as an aide memoire, and also to cadets and
trainees embarking on their maritime careers. The text has been
developed for modern day ship’s navigator in the ‘digital era’.
It is written from the perspective that the reader’s vessel will be
navigated using an IMO type-approved electronic chart and display
information system (ECDIS) as opposed to traditional chart-based
passage planning. As such, the book focuses on the main principles
associated with position and direction of the earth's surface, geodesy
projects and grids, digital navigation, electronic chart and data
information systems, fixing, internal aids to navigation and systems,
external aids to navigation, tides and currents, ocean navigation,
coastal navigation, pilotage and blind pilotage, anchoring,
navigational errors, relative velocity, and bridge organisation and
management.
