Passage planning and navigation

Passage Planning

Be prepared; think ‘what if?’ and don’t ruin a good day out on the water with insufficient planning.

The Rise Of eNavigation

The decision was in response to more marine, naval and leisure users using digital products and services for navigation, and the decrease in paper sales.

Navigation Lights

Lights and shapes are used to indicate the status of a vessel at sea and the direction in which a vessel underway is moving.

Navigating Offshore Wind Farms

Offshore wind farms create clean and renewable wind energy, with turbines installed on the seabed to take advantage of the force of the winds.

Notices to Mariners

Notices to Mariners are issued from different sources, such as the UK Hydrographic Office, Trinity House or Local Harbour Authorities.
