Coastal Nav – Session 1 (3 Hours)
Learning Outcome IMO 1.1.2
2.1, 2.2 , 2.3, 2.4
On completion the learner should be able to interpret the information on a navigationalchart and apply it to the techniques of coastal navigation.
Session 1
• Locate and identify appropriate navigational charts required for localoperations and for a coastal passage.
• Explain the advantages of using charts drawn on the Mercatorprojection for plotting the ship’s track.
• Explain the principles of position and direction on the earth’s surface
and define the terms used to apply the principles to navigation.

• Navigation getting A to B
• Coastal Nav still insight of land
• Offshore Nav uses time and celestial bodies
• Navigating – Position fixing and adjusting
• Piloting – Combination of nav and conning
• Conning – Visual cues and instructions only

Coastal Nav ~ S ession 1 – THE EARTH
► Earth assumed to be a sphere for navigation
► Rotates West to East about Polar axis► Bulges at equator – ellipsoid.► Flattening (or compression) of ellipsoid
F = Equatorial axis – Polar axis / Equatorial axis► For WGS 84, F = 1/298.2572

► Earths surface not regular► Geoid – surface assumed to conform to
mean sea level.► Ellipsoid will only conform to Geoid over
limited area.

► Datums► Each country will use datum that “best fits” Ellipsoid to Geoid► Australia AGD66 – many charts► AGD84 – new datum► GDA94 – Geocentric Datum of Australia – replaces AGD and is
compatible with GPS► GPS uses WGS84 – World Geodetic System 1984.

Mercator Projection
► Cylindrical Projection► Rhumb lines (loxodromes) – straight lines. Cuts all meridians at
the same angle, i.e. a constant compass direction.

Chart Scale
► Natural Scale – measure of how much areaa chart covers
► Small scale – e.g. 1:10 000 000. Oceanchart. Enough detail for passage planningonly
► Large scale – e.g. 1:250 000. Coastal chart.Sufficient detail for a coastal passage – main lights and all navigation hazards
► Very Large scale – e.g. 1:7500. Harbourplans. Large amount of detail including allbuoys and beacons.
