    This document provides an overview of navigation duties and techniques. It outlines the roles of officers like the first, second, and third officers who are responsible for navigation equipment and safety plans. It also describes methods for determining a ship's position like pilotage using landmarks, celestial navigation using star positions, and dead reckoning using the previous position and estimated speed and course. Key terms are defined like headings, courses, tracks, and rhumb lines that are used in plotting positions.

    DUTIES:

    Deck Department
    First Officer Second Officer Third Officer Boatswain (Bosun) Master/Captain
    (vođa palube)
    - stowage plan - navigational - safety equipment - supervise the deck - crew, passengers,
    - supervision of equipment crew of the vessel. cargo, environment
    loading and
    discharging
    - general
    maintenance

    - stowage plan is a plan showing the distribution of all cargo stored on board of a vessel for a voyage. (plan slaganja
    tereta)

    - maintenance- keep in a good shape, running condition (održavanje)

    (v.) maintain- održavati

    - interfere- go between, intervene( umiješati se, ometati)

    - OOW= Officer Of the Watch


    - HEADING vs COURSE

    Heading (pravac) is used to describe the direction a ship is pointing. In contrast, the course (kurs) angle refers to the
    direction a ship is actually moving.

    - track- The line of a ship's course through the water (ruta, put)

    - Rhumb line(loxodrome)- an imaginary line on the earth's surface cutting all meridians at the same angle, used as the
    standard method of plotting a ship's course on a chart.(loksodroma)

    * rhumb /rʌm/

    NAVIGATING TECHNIQUES:
    Ship's position is: determined, fixed, found, calculated....

     Pilotage(coastal navigation)- ability to determine the ship's position by use of: landmarks, aids to navigation,
    including lighthouses, beacons and buoys, dead reckoning; taking into account winds, tides, currents and
    estimated speed.(terestrička navigacija)
     Celestial(astronomical navigation) makes use of the observed positions of celestial bodies to determine a
    navigator’s position (astronomska navigacija)
     Dead Reckoning is the process by which one’s current position is calculated based on/using a previously
    obtained position. A previously determined position can also be termed as a fix; the estimated speed and the
    course are applied to that fix to obtain a DR. (zbrojena pozicija)
     Running Fix - determination of a ship’s position made by taking bearings of one consipicuous object at different
    times.(pozicija broda određena opažanjem jednog objekta u razmaku vremena)
     Satellite/Radio navigation – determenation of a ship's position using the data sent from the satellite

    * pilotage /ˈpʌɪlətɪdʒ/

    - deduction- subtraction (oduzimanje, izvođenje zaključka, dedukcija)

    - bearing- azimut

    - conspicuous /kənˈspɪkjʊəs/- clearly visible (upadljiv, upečatljiv, vidljiv)

    - intersection- presjecanje

    - accurately- precisely, exactly (precizno, tačno)

    - cross bearing- unakrsni azimuti, imaju presjecanje u jednoj tački

    - obsolete- old-fashioned (zastarjelo)

    DEPTHS:
    - shoal-a place where a sea, river, or other body of water is shallow. Shoals are also known as sandbanks, sandbars
    (plidina, pješčani sprud…)

    - draft(draught) – the distance from the waterline to the bottom of the ship ( gaz)
    - shallow draft vessel- a vessel whose keel is not far below the waterline (brod malog gaza)

    - shallow draft vessel # deep draft vessel

    - swell- a slow, regular movement of the sea in rolling waves that do not break (mrtvo more, talasi mrtvog mora)

    increase #decrease

    - time ellapsed- the amount of time that passes from the start of an event to its end. (proteklo vrijeme)

    - protruding /prəˈtruːdɪŋ/- sticking out, projecting (isturen)

    - obtain- get, acquire (dobiti, usvojiti)

    DIRECTIONS:
    - abaft the beam- subočice prema krmi

    RUNNING FIX

    DEAD RECKONING
