Objective

Knowledge, understanding and proficiency of STCW table A-II/2 function: Navigation at the management level. This course concentrates on learning the following competencies:
- plan a voyage and conduct navigation
- determine position and the accuracy of resultant position fix by any means
- determine and allow for compass errors
- establish watchkeeping arrangements and procedures
- maintain safe navigation through the use of information from navigation equipment and systems to assist command decision making
- maintain the safety of navigation through the use of ECDIS and associated navigation systems to assist command decision making
- forecast weather and oceanographic conditions
- manoeuvre and handle a ship in all conditions
- operate remote controls of propulsion plant and engineering systems and services.
