Core Principles of Maritime Navigation introduces the main navigation
concepts required by trainees and professionals involved in maritime
operations. The book covers a wide range of subjects from wind, waves
and depths to navigational marks and buoys, navigational techniques and
equipment, passage planning, duties of the Officer of the Watch,
berthing and anchorage. It is not intended to be a technical
publication; rather, it aims to introduce core ideas and concepts in an
accessible way for general readers, university students, cadets and for
the continuous professional development of experienced seafarers.
