Navigation

This course will introduce, explain and teach you how to apply Rule 6 of the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

The Gyro Error Logbook Management course is designed to provide maritime professionals with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in maintaining, recording, and managing gyro errors aboard vessels. Gyrocompasses are crucial navigational instruments, and understanding their errors is essential for accurate navigation. This course equips participants with the expertise to manage and record gyro errors systematically through the use of gyro error logbooks.

This course introduces Mercator Sailings which is a common navigational calculation for determining courses and distances for passage planning and rendezvous. These are for long-distance calculations, i.e. for passages greater than 600 Nautical Miles.

This course will introduce and explain Rule 14 of the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course will introduce and explain Rules 16 and 17 of the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course will introduce and explain Rules 1 and 2 of the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course will introduce and explain Rule 7 of the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

Ship strikes are one of the greatest known threats to all whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans), and are hampering the recovery of several endangered whale species worldwide. The magnitude of this threat has increased as shipping and tourism have expanded, resulting in greater numbers of ships and therefore a much greater risk of collisions. Scientists and conservation managers have been working to identify and implement appropriate measures to reduce the risks of strikes between ships and whales.

In this short course, you will learn the basics of nautical charts, chart projection, and how to use common tools such as dividers and triangles to complete common tasks like fixing your position or determining the latitude and longitude of an object. This class is for all watch officers and bridge watchstanders interested in paper charting.

In this course, you will learn to solve latitude by Polaris navigational mathematics problems to a standard expected by U.S. Coast Guard license exams for oceans level licenses of unlimited tonnage.

Man Overboard is one of the various emergencies that can occur onboard a vessel, and like every other emergency, a man overboard requires immediate and precise intervention. To ensure that action is taken without delay in such an event, every crew member on board is trained in man overboard procedures and drilled on their specific duties at regular intervals as required by SOLAS. The correct and timely application of the procedures to be followed will increase the probability of a successful recovery and decrease the probability of a casualty.

Navguide Solutions courses will assist in maintaining your vessel in all respects and improve your results in third-party Inspections, like Port State, SIRE, Rightship, Flag state inspections, audits, etc. This will also assist in bolstering your knowledge and skill, which in turn will help boost your self-confidence and groom you into a thorough marine professional ready for promotions and dealing with challenges onboard.
Let’s embark on this journey to empower you to develop an eye, to spot non-compliance and eventually turn you into a highly valuable member of the ship's team.
