Navigation

A good captain must be able to handle his ship, using his knowledge base from previous experiences on his vessel and the different weather conditions he has sailed in throughout his career. There will always be variables that he will need to consider, evaluate and then adapt to suit the current situation to ensure a successful outcome. The weather can be adverse, but we can use it for the best manoeuvring result. Knowing the foundational basics is the best starting point.

This course deals with the synoptic analysis of the wind, the clouds and the cold and warm fronts.

This course will introduce, explain and then teach you how to begin learning the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This short course will take you through an introduction and overview of the FarSounder Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar (3D-FLS) navigation products.

This course will introduce and explain Rule 15 of the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course is the first of many courses on the conjoined topic of both meteorology and sailing; it is a course based on Basic Marine Weather Training to show how marine meteorology is beneficial to all seafarers.

This course explains all the basic principles of weather formation.

This course will introduce and explain Rule 3 of the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course focuses on weather models and synoptic charts.

SPOS Seakeeping delivers tailored, vessel-specific routing advice and is the only established solution to offer both voyage performance and fully integrated onboard ship motion optimisation. Not only is SPOS Seakeeping the master of forecasted vessel response and resonances, but the add-on module also provides tools to help you make decisions in course changes (direction and speed insights) to safely escape motion occurrences.

This course will introduce and explain the lights, shapes, and sound signals prescribed under the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course introduces the Parallel and Plane Sailings which are common navigational calculations for determining courses and distances for passage planning & rendezvous. These are short-distance calculations for runs of less than 600 Nautical Miles, or directly East/West along a single line of latitude.
