Product Description
The Passage Planning Guide is designed to be used as part of the ship's pre-entry procedures and as a tool for refreshing the bridge team each time the ship is planning a passage through the GBRTS. This edition has been restructured to consolidate key information for both the Master and the bridge team.
The pull-out chartlets, which feature satellite imagery and inset photos of key navigational marks, allow the book to be used in real time, enhancing situational awareness and giving the navigator an overview that can be lost on ships where ECDIS is the primary means of navigation.
Updated traffic information, including high density hotspots and case studies based on accident reports, effectively illustrate best navigational practice. New features also include an additional hotspot chart for the Hydrographers Passage, an expanded section on REEFREP/REEFVTS reporting requirements, and a two-page overview chart of the controlling depths in the Inner Route, to accompany the previous edition's overview chart of the Torres Strait.
Additionally, the Guide includes two perforated copies of the Pre-Entry Bridge Team Meeting checklist to effectively aid bridge teams in planning their passage of the GBRTS.
