Voyage planning, also known as passage planning, is a comprehensive process that ensures safe and efficient navigation from one port to another. It is a critical aspect of maritime operations and is mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Voyage planning is typically divided into four main stages: appraisal, planning, execution, and monitoring. ### Stages of Voyage Planning 1. **Appraisal** - **Gather Information**: Collect all necessary information about the voyage, including charts, nautical publications, weather forecasts, tide and current data, and information on any navigational hazards. - **Assess Risks**: Identify and evaluate potential risks, such as shallow waters, narrow channels, heavy traffic areas, and environmental factors. - **Equipment Check**: Ensure all navigational equipment is functional and updated, including GPS, radar, electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS), and communication systems. 2. **Planning** - **Plot the Course**: Plot a detailed course on nautical charts or ECDIS, marking waypoints, turning points, and no-go areas. - **Determine Speed and ETAs**: Calculate the estimated time of arrival (ETA) at key waypoints and the final destination, considering the vessel's speed and any expected delays. - **Prepare Contingency Plans**: Develop alternative routes and contingency plans in case of unexpected events, such as adverse weather or mechanical failures. - **Compliance Check**: Ensure the planned voyage complies with international, national, and local regulations, including traffic separation schemes, environmental protection zones, and port entry requirements. 3. **Execution** - **Follow the Plan**: Navigate the vessel according to the planned route, maintaining the planned speed and monitoring ETAs. - **Communicate**: Maintain effective communication with the crew, other vessels, and shore-based authorities, as required. - **Monitor Conditions**: Continuously monitor weather conditions, traffic, and any other factors that may affect the voyage. 4. **Monitoring** - **Track Progress**: Use navigational aids to track the vessel's progress along the planned route, making adjustments as necessary. - **Update the Plan**: Modify the voyage plan in response to changes in weather, sea conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances. - **Recordkeeping**: Keep detailed records of the voyage, including any deviations from the plan and the reasons for those deviations. ### Key Elements of Voyage Planning - **Nautical Charts and Publications**: Up-to-date charts, sailing directions, light lists, tide tables, and notices to mariners. - **Weather and Oceanographic Information**: Forecasts and data on wind, waves, currents, and tides. - **Vessel Characteristics**: Details of the vessel's draft, speed, maneuvering capabilities, and cargo. - **Regulatory Requirements**: Knowledge of international, national, and local regulations, including SOLAS, MARPOL, COLREGs, and port state control requirements. - **Safety Considerations**: Identification of safe havens, emergency anchorage areas, and procedures for emergency situations. ### Regulatory Framework - **SOLAS Chapter V**: The primary regulatory framework for voyage planning, requiring that all ships have a voyage plan before proceeding to sea. - **IMO Resolution A.893(21)**: Provides guidelines for voyage planning, emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation and risk assessment. Effective voyage planning is essential for ensuring the safety of the vessel, crew, cargo, and environment. It requires careful preparation, continuous monitoring, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions.

It is often said: we will let go anchor by gear. then If not engaged, let Go anchor by gravity. Hope your question answered. Please do subscribe and Hit the bell to be updated to my newest video. Thank you

Subtract draft to Depth of the water. In my computation, draft is not included, because shackles measured from the deck to the bottom.

@@FrancisDelacruz thank you Sir. Subscriber mo na ako sir last month pa.

Wow Thank you. Ingat lagi. If you want to know something. Just comment. And try natin gawan ng vids. Salamat.

If you are looking for Dlat and Dlong, You will use the rules Same Name = Subtract and Different Name = Add. Now if you are looking for LAT 2 and LONG 2 ,you will use this rules SAME NAME = ADD and DIFFERENT NAME = SUBTRACT. Thank you brother. Hope you subscribe and hit the bell para updated ka sa mga videos tulad nito.

Gawa din ako video. Many thanks. Subscribe ka ha. Heheh

In Finding Long 2 and Lat 2, If same name add the Lat 1 and Dlat , then if Different name Subtract the Lat 1 and Dlat. Same in longitude also. Now How you name the Long 2 and Lat 2, you just copy the name of the bigger Value. I've mentioned it on the video. Okay bro. I'll make a specific video regarding to your question. Thank you so much bro. Hope you do subscribe and like. Many thanks.

@FrancisDelacruz thank you!! My Gee! I already subscribed ❤️

Thank you so much. God blesa

What specific information you want to know about lat and Long. Lattitude measure from 0° equator to south / north pole 90° while longitude measures from prime meridian 0° to East/West 180°.

Goodluck kabaro

Navigational charts come in different scales to suit various maritime needs. Here's a breakdown of the different scales and their typical uses: 1. **General Charts (Small Scale)** - **Scale:** 1:500,000 and smaller. - **Uses:** These charts are used for planning long voyages and provide an overview of large sea areas. They are not detailed enough for navigation close to land or in confined waters but are essential for planning and understanding the broader context of a voyage. 2. **Sailing Charts** - **Scale:** 1:500,000 to 1:1,000,000. - **Uses:** Used for offshore navigation when a vessel is a considerable distance from land. They provide a general idea of the coastline and are useful for route planning over large distances. 3. **Coastal Charts (Medium Scale)** - **Scale:** 1:50,000 to 1:500,000. - **Uses:** These charts are used for navigating coastal waters, where more detail is required than on general charts. They show details necessary for navigating around larger coastal features and for approaching ports from the open sea. 4. **Approach Charts** - **Scale:** 1:25,000 to 1:50,000. - **Uses:** These charts are used for navigating into harbors and ports, providing detailed information on navigational hazards, depths, and aids to navigation. They are crucial for the safe approach to a port. 5. **Harbor Charts (Large Scale)** - **Scale:** 1:10,000 to 1:25,000. - **Uses:** Used for detailed navigation within harbors, showing individual docks, berths, and detailed information on depths and navigational hazards. They are essential for the final stages of navigation into and out of docks and berths. 6. **Berthing Charts (Very Large Scale)** - **Scale:** 1:5,000 to 1:10,000. - **Uses:** These are used for navigating within very confined waters, such as specific port facilities, docks, and marinas. They provide extremely detailed information necessary for berthing and unberthing operations. Each type of chart serves a specific purpose, ensuring that mariners have the appropriate level of detail necessary for safe navigation at various stages of a voyage.

Kapag po ba tung rml ay pababa ay pataas po ba ang pag pag guhit sa r? Sana po masagot

Reciprocal from your own ship course. For example ang course mo is 000 so yung line is pataas, kaya kapag i drag mo papuntang r ay ang guhit is pababa o sa baba (180°).

Yes if you are talking if headline is up your r should me downwards (reciprocal).

Thank you sir💛

Yes, when marking the anchor on the forward part of the vessel in ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), it's essential to account for the vessel's length overall when calculating the swinging circle. This ensures accurate navigation and safety measures are maintained.

Depende po sa Mark Up profit. Kapag 7% pasado ka sa una then sa pangalawa failed walang deduction yun, vice versa. Pero kapag 8-12% profit kapag isa sa evaluation ang hindi mo na pass, may deduction yun na 1%. Pero kapag dalawang evaluation hindi mo maipasa magiging 6% nlang ang profit mo .

Thank you bro it seems confusing. I use slash instead minus sign. 30+38 = 68 then minus 60 = is 08 mins. I deducted 60 because 68 is over 60, I put 60mins or equivalent to 1 hr to the hours.

I didnt divide 68 and 60. Instead I subtract it.

@@FrancisDelacruz ok sir thank you.pag passing idl namn sir dto na ginagamit yong ZD diba pero pwede parin gamitin sa ganitong example mo sir yong my ZD?
