Course Description:
Navigational Instruments with Compasses provides students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills necessary to
operate electronic navigational equipment and compasses used in determining ship's position and under-keel clearance for safe navigation.
Students will learn the principles of magnetic and gyro-compasses develop an understanding of systems under the control of the master gyro
and gain knowledge of the operation and care of the main types of gyrocompass. The course is designed to meet the International Convention
on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) requirements.
Students will develop knowledge of the principles of magnetic and gyro-compasses and understand how to determine errors of the
magnetic and gyro-compasses, using terrestrial means, and to allow for such errors (JCMMC No. 1 Series of 2023).
Course Outcomes:
CO1. Operate specific electronic navigational equipment (e.g. GPS) used in obtaining and monitoring ship’s position and under-keel
clearance for safe navigation.
CO2. Determine the true course/ bearing with the use of the magnetic and gyro compass.
