Q

What do you consider in the Appraisal section of passage planning?

A
  • Collect and assess all relevant info required for the passage
  • allows risks to be identified and assessed to make sure the proposed passage plan is safe
  • 1 or two months prior to plan

Q

What should you consider when drawing up the course line?

A
  • No-go areas
  • Safe water
  • UKC
  • Tidal Window
  • Course alteration wheel over positions
  • PI’s
  • Transits
  • Clearing bearings
  • Position fixing
17
Q

What should be considered when determining UKC?

A
  • Squat
  • Reliability of charted depth data
  • Predicted tide levels
  • Areas of mobile bottom
  • Reliability of echo sounder
  • Manoeuvrability of vessel
18
Q

What is the advantage of using British Admiralty publications for passage planning as opposed to a local chart?

A

Improved efficiency, accuracy and access to information bridge crews need through electronic NM updates and simple search functionality.

19
Q

How often should you fix your position?

A

Should depend on the distance from navigational hazards and the time the ship would take to run into danger before the next fix. This depends mainly on the ships speed. RULE 6, VDMLWD + CCEPNM

20
Q

What should you consider when executing the passage plan?

A
  • Reliability and condition of navigation equipment
  • ETA’s to critical points
  • Daytime v nighttime passing of danger points
  • Meteorological conditions
21
Q

What is passage planning?

A

Develop a comprehensive navigation plan for the safest and most economical route from berth to berth.

22
Q

What are the Principles / Objectives of a Passage plan?

A
  • Recognises hazards and assesses associated risks and decision points
  • Ensures that sufficient sea room and depth of water is available
  • Includes appropriate position fixing opportunities and intervals
  • Complies with relevant reporting requirements and routeing measures for ships
  • Considers anticipated traffic and weather conditions
  • Complies with all applicable environmental protection measures
23
Q

What is parallel indexing?

A

It is a very useful technique which provides the watch keeper with a means of continuously monitoring a vessels position in relation to a pre-determined passage plan

24
Q

What are the required publications for passage planning?

A
  • Charts (UKHO)
  • Lists of Radio Signals Vol 1-6 (UKHO)
  • List of lights (UKHO)
  • Sailing directions (UKHO)
  • Tide Tables (UKHO)
  • Tidal Stream Atlases (UKHO)
  • Ocean Passages for the World (UKHO)
  • Routeing Charts
  • Operating and maintenance instructions for navigational aids carried by the ship
