 Navigation

• Is an art and science of

conducting a ship(vessel) on
the surface of the water, safely,
from one place to another at
the shortest possible time.
 Navigation

• Marine navigation blends both

science and art.
 Navigation

• Science of navigation includes the

computation of solutions for various
navigational problems, the design
and development of instruments,
methods, tables, and almanacs
intended to facilitate the work of the
navigator.
 Navigation

• Art of navigation involved the

methods and techniques which
vary with the type of vessel, the
conditions, and the navigator’s
experience.
 Navigation

• The science of navigation can

be taught, but the art of
navigation must be developed
from experience.
 Types of Navigation

• Methods of navigation have

changed throughout history. New
methods often enhance the
mariner’s ability to complete his
voyage safely and expeditiously,
and make his job easier.
 Types of Navigation

• One of the most important

judgments the navigator
must make involves
choosing the best methods
to use.
 Types of Navigation

• Each method or type has

advantages and
disadvantages, while none
is effective in all situations.
 Types of Navigation
• Dead reckoning(DR)
• Piloting or Terrestrial Navigation
• Celestial Navigation
• Radio Navigation
• Radar Navigation
• Satellite Navigation
Terrestrial Navigation
• Involves navigating in
restricted waters with
frequent or constant
determination of position
relative to nearby geographic
and hydrographic features.
 Summary
• NAV 2 - Terrestrial and Coastal Navigation 1

and ability to use nautical charts, and
publications, such as sailing directions, tide
tables, notices to mariners, radio navigational
warnings and ships’ routeing information
• Navigation as an art and science.
• Piloting/Terrestrial is one of the types of
navigation
