PASSAGE PLANNING:
1) MERCATOR CHARTS:
Advantages: I. Distances are easily measured II. Rhumb line course is easily laid off III. Shapes of landmasses correctly shown Disadvantages: I. Great circle courses cant be laid off II. Scale of distance varies as per latitude III. Areas cant be compared due to varying distortion
2) APEM:
I. Appraisal: It is a stage of gathering information for the passage such as: i. ETD/ETA (departure and arrival port) ii. Departure draft iii. UKC iv. Weather v. Tide and currents vi. Loadine zones vii. Charterers instructions viii. Masters standing instructions ix. Special areas x. Ballast exchange Apart from these following charts and publication must also be referred: i. ii. iii. Chart catalogues List of lights ALRS
27
Tide tables Tidal stream atlases Routing guide Distance tables Mariners handbook Guide to port entry BPG Pilot books
Planning: Following should be done in planning: i. Arrange charts ii. Mark initial and final position iii. Draw a free hand route as required by sailing direction iv. Mark no go areas v. Decide way points vi. Draw courses and distances vii. Mark call master point, DTG, reporting points, SBE and 1 hr notice viii. Relevant information as per sailing direction ix. Parallel indexing x. Clearing bearings xi. Abort points xii. Contingency anchorage Execution: In this stage final changes to passage plan are made prior departure such as: i. Updated weather and tidal conditions ii. Masters charterers instructions might change iii. Fuel requirement iv. Manning level might change v. Navigational equipment might change

Monitoring: In this stage we monitor our progress during passage by: i. Checking position visual, celestial, electronic means, bearings, ranges, HSA, VSA, transit bearings, parallel indexing, RADAR ranges and depth contours ii. Weather and navigational warnings iii. RPM and ETA iv. Continuous depth monitoring v. Security

MISC. CONTENT:
1) NEW INSPECTION REGIME:
What is PSC (Port state control): In the early days of shipping a lot of companies started to register their ships with a flag of convenience (FOC) to save money. Ships registered with these FOCs were poorly maintained and had very poor living and working conditions and a lot of pollution incidents and accidents were taking place on such ships. So, in 1978 IMO started PSC which has a network of maritime authorities who inspect foreign slag vessels coming to their country. Whole world is split up into various PSC MOU regions Paris MOU, Indian MOU, etc. Purpose of PSC: i. Eliminate substandard ships ii. Eliminate substandard companies iii. Eliminate FOC iv. Ensure health safety and welfare of crew v. Verify the competency of master and officers on board vi. Verify condition of ship and its equipments as required by international law vii. Make sure that ship is manned and operated in compliance with applicable international law Items inspected by PSC: I. Initially: i. Safe means of access ii. Markings loadlines iii. Hygiene iv. Certificates
30
Crew certificates Master ISM form Walk around deck, bridge and engine room
Expanded (only for high risk vessel): i. Emergency generator ii. Emergency stop iii. Emergency lights iv. Emergency fire pump v. Emergency steering vi. Boat/Fire drill vii. On tankers IG (inert gas) system

5) CRITICAL EQUIPMENT:
As per my company policy we had a list of critical equipment failure of which may lead to serious problems related to pollution and safety of life at sea. These equipments need more monitoring additional and more frequent monitoring Eg. fire pumps, emergency generator, ODMCS checked weekly Critical equipment on deck Deck seal, PV breaker, mast riser, COW machine, etc

Machinery space with steam turbine, boiler, CAT-A machinery space and space containing internal combustion type machinery 14) TRS (Tropical revolving storm): Signs of a TRS: I. Moist unstable air II. Sea temperature of 27 degrees III. Barometer reading: 3mb below average TRS in vicinity 5mb below average TRS within 200nm IV. Wind speed: 250 miles from center light winds 150 miles from center force 8 <70 miles from center force 12 V. Wind direction - Unexpected change in wind direction VI. Red/copper sky upto 500miles away VII. Clouds - Cirrus clouds bearing in direction of storm Cumulus/Altostratus can also be seen VIII. Swell - Pronounced swell from unexpected direction upto 1000 miles away IX. Humidity heavy humid atmosphere X. Storm tides 3-5m higher than expected XI. Radio warnings Radio message to be sent if TRS suspected (SOLAS) Action: I. Determine bearing and distance of storm centre: i. Buy ballots law ii. Meteorological observations iii. Radio information II. Construct a plot:

Determine/predict the path of storm: i. Radio information ii. Plotting information iii. History of previous TRSs iv. 40 degrees either side of track Determine the vessels relative position: i. Pressure falling vessel in advance of TRS ii. Pressure rising - vessel at rear of TRS

Difference between a TRS and Depression: TRS DEPRESSION i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. Depression is round the year Forms at higher latitudes Wind force more than 7 Does not depend on sea temp. Moves from west to east Does not recurve Sustains on land Forms due to jet streams
TRS is seasonal Occurs in tropical region Wind force less than 7 Require a sea temp. of 27 degrees and above Moves from east to west TRS recurves TRS dies out when hits land Occurs due to coriolis effect
