Navigation & Pilotage

International Coastal Guide Module  

This course prepares you for challenging sea journeys, including open water crossings in areas with strong tidal movement exceeding 3 knots. It aims to equip guides with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective planning and navigation in advanced sea conditions. The primary objective is to enhance the guides‘ knowledge, awareness, and seamanship. Participants will learn to utilize nautical charts, maps, pilot books, IALA buoyage, collision regulations, tide tables, and tidal stream atlases. The course will cover how to interpret weather systems, calculate vectors for navigating open crossings, tide races, and over-falls, and develop advanced pilotage techniques for poor visibility and night navigation. Additionally, the course will explore oceanography and meteorology. The course will also explore navigation at night.
