Description
Core Principles of Maritime Navigation introduces the main navigation concepts required by trainees and professionals involved in maritime operations. The book covers a wide range of subjects from wind, waves and depths to navigational marks and buoys, navigational techniques and equipment, passage planning, duties of the Officer of the Watch, berthing and anchorage. It is not intended to be a technical publication; rather, it aims to introduce core ideas and concepts in an accessible way for general readers, university students, cadets and for the continuous professional development of experienced seafarers.
