NAVIGATION AND MONITORING OF THE VOYAGE

The implementation of the route plan will take place as we develop it, and
we must monitor everything in accordance with the plan to ensure safe sailing. But
how will we keep track of things? You have a list of things to think about, and it is
based on the scenario. We have a list of things to know near the shore, such as the
constant radius of turns, planning techniques prior to safety, transits or the route of
the journey, leading lines and clearing marks, execution, monitoring, updating,
archiving, and recording. These tasks must be completed appropriately and exactly.
We must know the exact guidelines in conducting a turn near the shore in the
constant radius of turns; the speed, direction, ROT of the vessel, and so on.
Additionally, clearing bearings is part of the monitoring; this way is performed by
avoiding some risky things ahead of your travel, by varying the path. The transits
are just the application of following your path; however, if there is no safety in
following the direction, you must change your course. Leading lines and clearing
markers indicate that you have successfully passed over danger by following the
indicated line on the map or following nautical marks such as lighthouses. To carry
out the trip plan, ETAs, traffic conditions, destination ETAs, and Tidal Streams
must be obtained. After execution is monitoring, and monitoring during the
journey is essential since every single operation must be observed and completed
safely. Furthermore, updates must be obtained by amending the voyage plan
anytime a hazardous circumstance arises. In the last section, archiving or recording
is indeed taken into account because every completed voyage plan must be
critiqued in order to achieve greater safety on future voyages.
