Radar Plotting - Basics (Calculating CPA, TCPA, Course, Speed and Aspect)

Radar Plotting (Part 1 of 2): Determine CPA, TCPA, BCPA, BCR, BCT, DRM & RS | with a 6-Minute Rule

⚓ Why Navigation Lights Matter — Even in the Age of Radar Not all vessels are required to carry radar. And even if they do, radar, ARPA, ECDIS, AIS—any equipment—can fail at the worst possible time. That’s why the Rules of the Road went back to basics. COLREGs rely first on what you can see. Standardized navigation lights were designed so that, using your eyes alone, you can determine where a vessel is going and what situation you are in. 🔴 Red on port. 🟢 Green on starboard. ⚪ Masthead light t

🛳Let's Apply the Radar Terms We have Learned! 🛳 The radar is one of the useful aids to navigation and collision avoidance tool. The radar data gives us a picture of what is currently happening around our ship. As it improves our situational awareness, we can now determine which targets to prioritize over the other. Which target above do you think we need to pay close attention to? Let's keep learning! #Maritime #Seafarer #Seaman #MerchantMarine #merchantnavy #cadets #seamanslifeonboard #marino
