Навигационные оборудования современного морского судна Navigation equipment of a modern sea vessel

  Гирокомпас (Gyro compass)

• Helps the officer (deck department) to navigate the sea and bring the ship to the desired port. The gyrocompass is superior to the magnetic compass due to the lack of additional error from magnetic fields. Each ship must have a gyrocompass course repeater in its control areas.

  Радар (Radar)

• Naval vessels depend on s-Band and X-Band radars, since such radars detect any targets around the ship, which is useful in bad or foggy weather. With the help of radar, you can see the ship, land, island, yacht, navigation buoys.

Магнитный компас (Magnetic Compass)

• The magnetic compass works by interacting with the earth's magnetic field and its main task is to show the direction of movement of the ship, that is, the course. This navigation device is located in the center of the direction finding deck, and its indicators are broadcast on the navigation bridge .

Авторулевой (Autopilot)

• There is a lot of navigation equipment on the bridge, but one of the most useful is the steering wheel. Its main task is to keep the set gyrocompass course, and if the gyrocompass is faulty, you can switch to a less accurate magnetic compass. With the help of the steering wheel, the bridge officer has enough time to assess the situation around the ship and react correctly if necessary.

ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid)

• The main task of ARPA radar is to show where we are, and where the vessels that are nearby are located. It also shows: the course, speed, distance, time to the ship and how far our ship will disperse from the others. This navigation device automatically captures all moving objects on the radar, such as ships, yachts, buoys, etc., and shows their speed and course using a vector. If necessary, you can find out more information about the goal by clicking on the goal we need.

Средства автосопровождения (Automatic tracking Aid)

• Just like ARPA, the auto-tracking device displays information about the tracked target in graphical and digital format. Helps the officer of the watch safely disperse from the target.

Лаг  (Speed and Distance Log Device)

• This navigation device measures the speed and distance traveled by the vessel from a given point. You can use it to calculate the arrival of the ship at the port, as well as transmit this information to the authorities of the port of arrival or the agent.

  Эхолот (Echo sounder)

• There are a huge number of modern and new devices on Board the ship, but the sounder is one of the oldest devices, which is more than 100 years old. It is used to measure the depth under the ship, by giving a sound pulse that bounces off the bottom and returns back to the source.

Электронные карты ECDIS

• ECDIS is an electronic navigation system that combines all the paper maps of the world. It is used on all vessels of the world, allowing the navigation officer to plan the route many times faster.

Автоматическая идентификационная система (AIS)

• AIS is one of the navigation devices of the ship, which helps to identify the location of the nearest vessels, as well as their data, which allows the watch officer to timely, for example, find out the name of the ship with which he wants to contact by radio.

Системы дальней идентификации и контроля местоположения судов (LRIT system)

• LRIT is an international system of tracking and identification of ships. It is found on ships over 300 GRT. Improves the tracking of the vessel from the shore.

Рулевой указатель (Rudder angle indicator)

• As the name says, it indicates the steering angle. It is located in several places on the bridge, and this is near the wheel, on the wings of the bridge and in the engine room.

  Регистратор данных рейса (Voyage data Recorder, VDR)

• It is a kind of black box for the ship. An extremely important device of the ship's navigation equipment, which constantly records all the necessary information for future investigation of an accident on the ship. There are many types of data loggers, but they all provide data for the last 12-24 hours before the accident.

Скорость поворота судна (Rate of turn)

• This navigation equipment shows how fast the ship turns with a fixed rudder angle. Measured in angles per minute

GPS приемник (GPS/DGPS receiver)

• In other words, a global positioning system. Allows you to find out the exact location of the vessel. With this device, the watch assistant can find out the coordinates of the ship's location, speed, course and time to overcome the distance between two specified points.

Система приема звука (Sound reception system)

• This system is necessary for vessels with a fully closed bridge. The system allows the watch officer on the inside to hear external signals (such as identification beeps in fog) from other vessels nearby. This device is built into the navigation console and helps the officer to keep watch according to the rules of the IRPCS. (International  Regulations for Preventing 
• Collisions  at  Sea )

ГМССБ оборудование (GMDSS console panel)

• It is an international system that uses terrestrial and satellite technology and shipboard radio systems. The system immediately warns ground services about an emergency situation with sea vessels. It includes such marine equipment as: Inmarsat-C, VHF, MF/HF, Navtex, radiotelex, SART, EPIRB.

Судовые флаги (Ship Flags)

• Many flags are stored on the bridge. There are flags of countries that the ship must hang when crossing the territorial waters of the country, as well as stored on the bridge and signal flags. Signal flags have been used since ancient times, there are a huge number of them, and they have a huge number of values. The most commonly used flags are Hotel, Quebec and Bravo, which separately mean that there is a pilot on Board, a ship under quarantine and a dangerous cargo or dangerous operations on Board.

Факсимиле (Facsimile)

• In other words, it is a Fax that provides weather data for the ship. Data is provided as a map of the world. It shows cyclones and anticyclones, as well as wind speed and direction.

Система Контроля Дееспособности Вахтенного Помощника Капитана (BNWAS)

• the purpose of this device is to prevent the officer of the watch from falling asleep. It works like an alarm clock and can emit a nasty sound every 3, 9 and 12 minutes if you don't press the right button in time.

Звуковой тифон (Ship whistle)

• The ship's whistle is most often duplicated. One is powered by air pressure, and the other is powered by electricity. The ship's sound signal must work in two ways: by electricity and manually. It is used in difficult navigation cases such as: bad weather, fog, poor visibility, heavy traffic, and so on. In emergency situations, the horn helps warn the crew of an emergency on Board the ship.

Дневная светосигнальная лампа (Daylight signaling lamp или ALDIS lamp)

• In addition to sound, there are also light warning lights for emergencies, which can also be used at night. Like other ship's emergency equipment, power for the lamp can be supplied not only through the ship's main power grid, but also from emergency batteries

  Навигационные огни (Navigation lights)

• All vessels, both small and large, must have identifying night lights. An extremely important part of the navigation system, without which it is impossible to navigate in the seas and oceans.
