HEADING
By heading is meant:
the direction in
which the vessel is
pointing.
It is the angle between
the fore-and-aft line
and True North.

COURSE
By course is meant:
the direction
in which the vessel
is steered.
It is expressed in
degrees.

HEADING AND COURSE
Do not confuse
heading
and
course;
heading constantly
changes due to
sea- and wind
influences and
and steering errors.

TRACK
The track consists of
one, or a number of
course lines
along which the
navigator intends to
proceed.

RHUMB LINE (loxodrome)
DESTINATION
A Rhumb line
is a line whereby
all the angles made
by the Meridians and
the course line are
equal.
This implies that in (Mercator) sea charts
the earth is not a sphere, but a square.

Composite sailing combines the advantages of the
great circle and the rhumb line:
it will offer the shortest possible route, and the vessel
can keep constant true directions.

PILOTAGE
When sailing along the coast, compassbearings of conspicuous objects are
taken at regular intervals.

PILOTAGE
A CONSPICUOUS OBJECT (CONSPIC)
is an object on land or at sea, which is
mentioned and described in the pilot book.

CROSS BEARINGS
Cross bearings form
an intersection of
two bearing lines that
have been taken of
two conspicuous objects.

finding one’s position by
taking into consideration:
. last known position;
. course and speed;
. sea and weather conditions.

ASTRONOMICAL NAVIGATION
With astronomical navigation(celestial navigation)
observations are taken of the sun, the moon
or the stars (celestial bodies) with the aid of
a sextant.

SEXTANT-BEARING
The angle between
a celestial body

With the aid of the chronometer and
the tables in the nautical almanac
the ship’s position can be determined.

SATELLITE-BEARING
When taking a satellite bearing
by means of the
Global Positioning System
a signal is transmitted from
a satellite, indicating the vessel’s
position on the GPS - display.

With the aid of the echo sounder
the depth of the water
can be determined.

31. Dia 31

TAKING SOUNDINGS
A signal is transmitted to
the sea bed.
This signal “bounces back”
and is received again
by the echo sounder.
From the time elapsed
between transmission
and reception of the signal,
the depth of the water
can be determined.

32. Dia 32

TAKING SOUNDINGS
With multi-beam echo sounding
3-D images are made of the seabed
to determine charted depth of water.

33. Dia 33

WIRE SWEEPING
Depth over a protruding obstacle can also be obtained by
wire sweeping, whereby a cable is swept over the sea bed
between two survey vessels.
However, this method of determining depth is obsolete.
