Download or read book The Canadian Aids to Navigation System written by Canadian Coast Guard. Aids and Waterways Directorate and published by The Directorate. This book was released on 1990 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aids to navigation are devices or systems, external to a vessel, which are provided to help a mariner determine position and course, to warn of dangers or obstructions or to advise on the location of the best or preferred route. The Canadian Coast Guard is responsible for the provision of aids to navigation in Canadian waters, with the exception of the Trent-Severn and Rideau waterways. The Canadian aids to navigation system, a combined Lateral-Cardinal system, is described. The publication also covers fixed aids (lightstations, daybeacons, fog signals, sector lights, and ranges); buoys for navigation and special uses, and their daytime and nighttime identification characteristics; radio aids such as radar reflectors and radar beacons, radiobeacons, and Loran-C; and related publications and sources in Canada and the U.S.

Download or read book Coastal Navigation written by Dominique F. Prinet and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal Navigation for Class and Home Study is based on the notes prepared for students by the author during some 20 years of teaching navigation, initially to private or commercial pilots, and then to sailors and professional mariners. The book is copiously illustrated with graphics which explain chart projections, scales and symbols, and describe lights and other navigation aids. It demystifies the True, Magnetic and Compass Norths as well as problems of time, speed and distances, and explains how to plot courses and take bearings, or draw regular and advanced Lines of Position using the international system of labeling. The book further clarifies the use of vectors to easily determine the impact of a current on the boat speed and direction, and goes on to show how to evaluate tides and currents. The final sections describe the use of GPS and electronic charts, highlighting their limitations. Additional notes and explanations are given in the areas where students traditionally experience difficulties, as well as supplementary examples and exercises. The companion book, Coastal Navigation Exercises, offers all the exercises needed for practice.
Download or read book Applying Advanced Information Systems to Ports and Waterways Management written by Marine Board and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-03-31 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future safety of maritime transportation in the United States-a major factor in the nation's international trade and economic well-being-will depend heavily on the quality of port and waterways information systems. Many U.S. ports and waterways lack adequate information services, although certain elements of advanced systems are now available in some locations. Barriers to improvements in information systems include the division of responsibilities for waterways management among multiple agencies at all levels of government, a lack of coordination among the federal agencies responsible for waterways management, inadequate budgets for some critical maritime programs, the high costs of some specialized technologies, stakeholder opposition to user fees, limited access to certain key data, the incompatibility of many independently developed systems, and the absence of standards for some attractive technologies. In this report, the second phase of a three-year study by the Committee on Maritime Advanced Information Systems of the National Research Council, a strategy is presented for overcoming the major barriers and deficiencies and providing a minimum level of maritime safety information nationwide. In this phase of the study, the committee concentrated on maritime information systems that promote safety, which is the area of greatest need. The committee did not examine in detail the relationship between navigation safety and maritime transportation efficiency or evaluate information systems that promote efficiency; the committee believes, however, that these issues deserve further attention.
