Why navigation and maneuvering systems are so important

• That Radar remains (and will remain) the

primary system for Collision Avoidance

• The master and watch keepers use the

radar because it:

• Is operated ship based

• Does not rely/depend on extra sources

• I has a proven track record

• Radar is useful with SARTs whenengaged in search and rescue

© Ships business

Page 7: Marine and Arctic Technology

History of navigation and maneuvering systems (1)

• New technologies of Radar become

available to Merchant Shipping with the

end of hostilities in 1945

• Radar on Merchant Ships was initially

installed for commercial purposes

• on ferries to maintain better schedules infog; and

• large fishing vessels

Ship radar

Page 8: Marine and Arctic Technology

History of navigation and maneuvering systems (2)

• International Conference on Safety of Life

at Sea (SOLAS) in 1960 revised the

International Regulations for Preventing

Collisions at Sea by adding rules to take

account of the use of Radar and

recommendations on the use of Radar.

• SOLAS convention adopt and make

Radar a mandatory carriage requirement

for Merchant Ships in a phased

programme starting in 1980.International Conference on Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)

Page 9: Marine and Arctic Technology

International Conference on Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)

Requirements

• All Merchant Ships of 300 gross tonnage

and over now shall carry a Radar and

many carry two

• IMO adopted performance standards for

marine Radars, which are used in

connection/integration with other

navigational equipment required to carry

on board ships such as,

Factors e.g.

• An automated target tracking

Gyro Compass

It is used for finding the right direction. Unlike magnetic

compass, gyro compass is not hampered by an external

magnetic field. Components:

• Master Compass: Discovers and maintains the true northreading with the help of gyroscope.

• Repeater Compasses: Receive and indicate the true directiontransmitted electrically from the Master Compass.

• Course Recorder: Makes a continuous record of the maneuveringon a moving strip of paper.

• Control Panel: Governs the electrical operation of the system andascertains the running condition by means of a suitable meter.

• Voltage Regulator: Maintains constant supply of the ship to themotor-generator.

• Alarm Unit: Indicates failure of the ship’s supply.

• Amplifier Panel: Controls the follow-up system.

• Motor Generator: Converts the ship’s DC supply to AC andenergizes the Compass equipment.

Radar

The seagoing vessels depend on S-band and

X-band frequency radar system for navigation

as it can detect targets and display the

information on the screen such as the distance

of the ship from land, any floating objects (an

island, rocks, iceberg etc.), other vessels, and

obstacles to avoid a collision.

It is a rotating antenna which discovers the

surrounding area of the ship

Magnetic Compass

The magnetic compass work in conjunction with the

magnetic field of the earth and is the essential means

of the direction indicating device.

It is used to get a planned course for the voyage.

This ship navigation equipment is usually fitted at the

centre line of the ship. A transmitting magnetic type

compass is fitted so that the output can be displayed

in the bridge panel

Auto pilot (1)

The autopilot is considered to be one of the most effective bridge navigational

equipment as it assists the human operator in controlling the ship by keeping the

steering in autopilot, which allows them to concentrate on broad aspects of the

operation.

It is a combination of hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical system and is used to

control the ship’s steering system. Auto-Pilot is synchronised with the Gyro

Compass to steer manually input courses, with reference to the gyro heading.

Auto Pilot steers the manually input course by controlling the steering gear to

turn the rudder in the required manner. Modern auto-pilot systems are capable of

being synchronised with the Electronic Chart system (ECDIS) enabling to follow

the courses laid out in the Voyage plan. This feature cuts out the need of manual

course changes and alterations as the system will follow the courses and

alterations as per the voyage plan.

ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid)

ARPA displays the position of a ship and other

vessels nearby. The radar displays the position of the

ships in the vicinity and selects the course for the

vessel by avoiding any kind of collision.

This bridge navigational equipment constantly

monitors the ship’s surrounding and automatically

acquires the number of targets, in this case; ships,

boats, stationary or floating objects etc., and plot their

speeds and courses respectively. It presents them as

vectors on the display screen and constantly update

the parameters with each turn of the antenna by

calculating their nearest points of approach to own

ship and also the time before this will occur.

Page 17: Marine and Arctic Technology

Automatic Tracking Aid

Just like ARPA, automatic tracking aid displays the

information on tracked targets in graphic and numeric

to generate a planned layout for a safer and collision-

free course.

Usually, A large size target measuring 800 m or more

in the circumference is considered as a landmass

and not tracked. Echoes less than 800 m are deemed

as targets to be tracked.

Automatic Identification system (AIS)

AIS is also among the types of a navigation system

which helps to pinpoint the location and other

navigational statistics of ships. AIS uses VHF radio

channels as transmitters and receivers to send and

receive messages between ships which endeavours

to fulfil a lot of responsibilities.

As per the regulation enforced by The International

Maritime Organisation (IMO), all passengers’ vessels

and commercial ships over 299 Gross Tonnage (GT)

GPS Receiver

A Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver is

a display system used to show the ship’s

location with the help of Global positioning

satellite in the earth’s orbit.

With the record of the ship’s positions, the

speed, course, and the time is taken to cover

the distance between “two marked positions”

can be calculated.

Echo Sounder

There are many modern ship navigation tools present

on ship and echo sounder is one of the instruments

which has been in the play from almost 100 years

now.

It is used to measure the depth of the water below the

ship’s bottom using sound waves which work on the

principle of transmission of sound waves and an

audio pulse which will bounce off a reflecting layer,

returning as an echo to the source.

Navigational lights

The primary function of marine navigation lights is to aid

prevention of any major accident from happening. There is

a pattern in which these lights are set up on the ships:

• There is a light at the right-hand side of the boat (right side when

facing the bow of the vessel known as the starboard side) which is

green in colour.

• There is a light at the left-hand side of the boat (left side when facing

the bow of the vessel is known as the port side) which is red in colour.

• There is a light at the right-hand side of the boat (right side when

facing the bow of the vessel known as the starboard side) which is

green in colour.

• There is a light at the left-hand side of the boat (left side when facing

the bow of the vessel is known as the port side) which is red in colour.

• A white light is placed at the stern side. This shows an unbroken light

over an arc of horizon of 135 degrees and fixed to show the light 67.5

degrees from right aft on each side

• The mast has to have night lights. The colour of this light is white.

Electronic Chart Display Information System (1)

ECDIS complies with IMO Regulation V/19 & V/27 of SOLAS convention as

amended, by displaying selected information from a System Electronic

Navigational Chart (SENC).

Besides enhancing navigational safety, ECDIS greatly eases the navigator’s

workload with its automatic capabilities such as route planning, route monitoring,

automatic ETA computation and ENC updating.

The ECDIS utilises the feature of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to

successfully pinpoint the navigational points.

Navigational equipment and collision avoidance

• Early action is required to avoid a close quarters

situation, therefore early identification of closing targets

is essential

• Watch-keeping officers need to be competent in the

use of Radar and are trained in its use and the

application of ARPA and other navigational equipment

IMO Requirements

• Maximum emergency stopping distance from full speed

of the ship should not be more that 15 ships lengths

• Emergency turn radius of the ship should not be more

that 2.5 ships length

COLREGs (1)

International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea

• Every vessel has a responsibility to avoid collisions.

• If every vessel follows the rules, there cannot be a collision.

• Even if these rules require another vessel to keep out of your way, you must be ready to take

action yourself.

• If you are in a collision, you will always be partly to blame.

• All actions must be clear, in good time, and large enough so other vessels will understand

your intentions.

• Generally alterations of course are more obvious than alterations of speed, but never hesitate

to slow down to give yourself thinking time or more room.

Page 29: Marine and Arctic Technology

Rules of the road (1)

Rule 13 - Overtaking

This rule overrides all the other give-way rules.

• The overtaking vessel (even if sailing) must keep out of

the way of the vessel being overtaken.

• You can pass on either side of the vessel, but keep well

clear – the other vessel may not have seen you.

• If you are being overtaken, hold your course and speed

until the other vessel is past and well clear.

26.1.2020

29

Page 30: Marine and Arctic Technology

Rules of the road (2)Rule 14 – Head on

• Both vessels must alter course to starboard.

• If the other vessel turns the wrong way, you should turn even

more to starboard, slow down, or stop your vessel.

Rule 15 – Crossing situation

• If the other vessel is on your starboard side it has right of way

and you must keep clear: you must either turn to starboard,

slow down to let the other vessel pass ahead of you – or do

both.

• A gives way to B

• If the other vessel is on your port side, you have right of way

and should hold your course and speed. However, if you think

the other vessel is leaving it too late, you have to take action

yourself. The “right rule” still applies: if you alter course, alter

to starboard. Or you can slow down, or do both.

Navigational system and COLREGs

Navigational systems are design and

utilized with careful consideration of the

COLREGs and other applicable

regulations by IMO.

Navigational system takes careful

consideration:

• IMO SOLAS and MARPOL conventions

• IALA Guidelines and actions

• The role and specification given by other

relevant stakeholders (e.g. VTS, SAR

services, Pilots, Icebreakers, Etc.)

Voyage data recorder

A VDR or voyage data recorder is a crucial

instrument among the ship navigation

equipment list which is installed on a ship to

continuously record vital information related

to the operation of a vessel.

It contains a voice recording system for a

period of at least the last 12 hours. This

recording is recovered and made use of for

investigation in events of accidents. The

importance of VDR is similar to a “black box”

installed on an airplane.

Rudder Angle Indicator (RAI) and Rate of Turn Indicator (RTI)

RAI

The display is provided on the navigation bridge equipment console so that the

ship navigation officer can control the rate of turn and rudder angle of the ship.

The indication is also provided in the bridge wing and engine control room.

RTI

This navigational tool indicates how fast the ship is turning at a steady rate

(useful during pilotage and maneuvering), normally shown as a number of

degrees turned. The rate a ship is turning is measured in degrees per minute.

This essential tool assists a coxswain in steering a course safely.

Sound Reception System

This acoustic system is required for a ship

with a fully enclosed type bridge. It enables

the navigating officer inside the cabin to

listen to the sound signals (such as fog or

ship’s horn) from other ships in the vicinity.

This is fitted in ships bridge equipment

console and helps the navigating officer to

conduct the look-out duty as per the

Ship Whistle

A ship’s horn is known as a whistle and it is

generally provided in duplicate. One is driven by

air and the other is electrically operated. The

whistle should be both manually and electrically

operational from the bridge.

Among different instruments used in difficult

navigation such as bad weather, fog, poor visibility,

high traffic etc., the ship’s whistle or horn helps in

alerting the nearby vessels.

During an emergency, the horn is used to notify

and alert the ship’s crew and other vessels nearby

Page 40: Marine and Arctic Technology

E- Navigation

E-navigation is ‘the collection, integration

and display of maritime information

aboard and ashore by electronic means to

enhance berth-to-berth navigation and

related services, safety and security at

sea, and the protection of the marine

environment’: definition from the

International Association of Marine Aids to

Navigation Lighthouse Authorities (IALA).

26.1.2020

E-Navigation view

Page 41: Marine and Arctic Technology

E- Navigation (Background)

In December 2005, Japan, the Marshall Islands, Netherlands, Norway,

Singapore, UK and USA submitted a paper (MSC 81/23/10) to the IMO Maritime

Safety Committee.

The paper went on to propose that the aim should be to develop a strategic

vision for the utilization of existing and new navigational tools, in particular

electronic tools, in a systemic and systematic manner.

(The claim) E-Nav would help reduce navigational accidents, errors and failures

with standards for an accurate and cost-effective system that make contribution

to the IMO’s agenda of safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans.

26.1.2020

Page 42: Marine and Arctic Technology

E- Navigation (practical coordination)

IALA will use this dedicated committee of

international delegates, representing

practitioners and technical experts to build

on its expertise in the fields of aids to

navigation and VTS to contribute

significantly to the concept of e-navigation

through the IMO.

E- Navigation architecture (1)

Elements (technical):

• World electronic navigation chart (ENC) coverage of navigational areas;

• A robust electronic positioning system (with redundancy)

• An agreed infrastructure of communications to link ship and shore.

Elements (human):

• Man/machine interface (balance between standardisation and leaving room for

innovation and development);

• Modes of information display/portrayal;

• Appropriate communication of situation awareness;

• Onboard e-navigation system equipment should be designed to engage the

bridge team and maintain high levels of attention and motivation without

causing distraction

Page 45: Marine and Arctic Technology

E- Navigation concerns

Technological advances of this kind must

be developed in a coordinated and

structured manner.

A lack of standardization both on board

ships and in shore side infrastructure

(with its attendant problems of

incompatibility either between vessels, or

between vessels and shore-based

facilities) and increased and

unnecessary levels of complexity,

clearly has to be avoided.

decision support system be

designed so as to relieve the

officer of the watch from some

of the burdens of watch keeping

while, at the same time, be

sufficiently intelligent to filter out

some of the less crucial

information and not draw the

navigator into a false sense of

security by overreliance on the

equipment or the information

presented.

E- Navigation demanded approach

Implementing technology three

fundamental aspects:

• The technology itself

• How to use the technology (gained

through design, testing and

experience)

• Training, both in the operation of the

technology itself but most importantly in

using the technology with agreed

procedures to make good decisions.

IMPORTANT

The Secretary General of the IMO

has stressed the need for ‘those

who actually practice navigation’

to be involved in the development

of e-navigation.

E- Navigation look into the future

E-Nav towards the future:

• More software implementation

• Sensors on-board and ashore

• More controlled systems

• Cyber security

• Integration demanded

Current and future cases:

• Digital twin simulations

• Remote controlled ships (operations)
