10.2 Emergency Navigation Procedures

  • Loss of Navigational Instruments: This section addresses emergency procedures in the event of a loss of navigational instruments, such as radar, GPS, or ECDIS failure. It covers alternative navigation techniques, including celestial navigation, dead reckoning, and visual navigation, to maintain situational awareness and continue safe navigation.
  • Navigating in Restricted Visibility: Navigating in restricted visibility, such as fog or heavy rain, requires specific procedures. This module explores techniques for safe navigation in these conditions, including the use of radar, sound signals, and proper communication with other vessels.
  • Emergency Anchoring and Mooring: When faced with an emergency situation, mariners may need to execute emergency anchoring or mooring procedures to prevent further damage or secure the vessel. This section covers the steps involved in emergency anchoring or mooring and emphasizes the importance of proper communication and coordination during these procedures.
