Outcomes
After completing this subject, the cadet will be able to:
Calculate the tidal condition of a specified secondary port with the use of a
Standard/secondary Form and nautical publication having a result well within +/- 5
mins and +/- 0.2 m of the correct answer.
Tidal Calculation
Admiralty Tide Tables
•Publication
The Admiralty Tide Tables (ATT) publication is produced
by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO).
• The Admiralty Tide Tables provide tidal predictions for
various ports and locations worldwide.
• NP201-208
Admiralty Tide Tables
Publication
Admiralty Total Tide
• It is the digital version of the Admiralty Tide Tables and is more up
to date with recent changes.
• The Admiralty Total Tide specifically refers to the total water level
predictions, which include predictions for high water, low water,
and tidal stream information.
• These predictions are crucial for mariners and navigators to plan
safe navigation, particularly in areas where tidal conditions play a
significant role.

Tidal Calculation
• Tidal calculations are crucial for various reasons, particularly in
coastal and marine environments.
• Tidal calculations are vital for safe navigation, especially in shallow
waters and areas with complex tidal patterns. Mariners rely on
accurate tidal predictions to determine the depth of water, plan
routes, and avoid grounding hazards.
Tidal Calculation
• Ports and harbors need tidal information to schedule vessel
arrivals and departures, optimize loading and unloading
operations, and ensure that vessels can safely navigate through
entrances and channels, which may be affected by changing tidal
conditions.
