Q

rely on an S-band and X-band radar system for navigation as it can detect targets and display information on the screen such as the ship’s distance from the ground, any floating objects (island, rocks, iceberg, etc.) other vessels and obstacles to avoid collision

Q

displays the location of the ship and other vessels nearby; selects a course for the ship, avoiding any type of collision; presents them as vectors on the display screen and constantly updates the parameters with each rotation of the antenna, calculating their closest points of approach to their own ship, as well as the time before this happens

Q

used to measure the depth of water below the bottom of a ship using sound waves, which work on the principle of sound wave transmission, and a sound pulse that bounces off a reflective layer and returns as an echo to the source

Q

works through the linkage between its three main parts: the telemotor, control unit, and power unit; telemotor receives the desired angle order from the wheelhouse and transmits it to the control unit, which in turn controls the power unit. two types of commonly used steering gear systems present: Hydraulic. Electro-hydraulic type

Q

device used to measure the speed of a moving vessel; Unit used for expressing the speed of a vessel is knots (Nautical miles/hour); Logs are used on vessels to record the speed and also the number of nautical miles the vessel has travelled through the water in a given time

Q

works in conjunction with the earth’s magnetic field and is the primary means of the direction indicator; obtain the planned voyage route; installed on the centerline of the ship on Monkey Island; mounted so that the output signal can be displayed on the bridge panel

Q

used to find the right direction; not interfered with by an external magnetic field; determine the correct north position; repeater system must be installed on the steering platform for emergency steering

A

gyro compass

17
Q

provides a display, on an expanded scale, of the ship’s heading derived from the master compass; the repeater compass indicates the ships heading

A

compass repeater

18
Q

mounted on the repeater compass; means of a prism and reflection mirror, sunlight is projected in the form of a line on to the compass card through a slit, thus making it possible to observe the sun.

A

azimuth circle

19
Q

indicates the rate a ship is turning. It indicates the rate a ship is turning in degrees per minute (°/min); one of the most important instruments a helmsman can have when steering a course.

A

rate of turn indicator

20
Q

the steering angle; located on the bridge equipment console; also provided in the bridge wing and in the engine control room

A

rudder angle indicator

21
Q

measures wind speed

A

Wind direction / speed indicator

22
Q

parallel ruler, compass divider, triangle, & pencil

A

chart plotting instruments

23
Q

to continuously record important information related to the operation of the ship; contains a voice recording system for at least the last 12 hours; record is restored and used for incident investigation

A

VDR (voyage data recorder)

24
Q

Marine Radio allows instant communication between your boat and other boats, marinas, bridges

A

VHF Very High Frequency (VHF)

25
Q

an automated ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship system using satellites and/or terrestrial radio systems with digital selective calling technology

A

GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress Safety System)

26
Q

a means of providing weather information to ships at sea.

A

Weather facsimile

27
Q

is an international automated medium frequency (518 kHz) direct-printing service for delivery of navigational and meteorological warnings and forecasts, as well as urgent marine safety information to ships

A

NAVTEX

28
Q

required for sailing on the high seas, as they allow you to see your own ship clearly to other nearby ships

A

Navigational lights control switch

29
Q

This timekeeping device is designed to help sailors stay on course during their voyages.

A

Ships clock

30
Q

measure the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation

A

sextant

31
Q

is a visual signaling device for optical communication by flashes of a lamp, typically using Morse code.

A

Aldis lamp : or a Morse lamp)

32
Q

used for giving manoeuvring and warning signals and signals in restricted visibility, therefore it’s often called “fog horn”.

A

whistle

33
Q

to indicate the position of a navigational vessel

A

Flag and pendants

34
Q

to indicate the status of a vessel at sea and the direction in which a vessel underway is moving, to allow the correct action to be taken by all the vessels when in sight of each other

A
