The Passage Planning Manual
Originally conceived in 1995 by the three co-authors the methodology outlined in the manual has been successfully trialled at sea and taught extensively in most Australian Nautical Institutions. The Passage Planning Manual is in effect an update and refinement of experience with the original concept, both at sea and in the classroom.
It covers the underlying philosophy of a Standardised Approach using an easily remembered set of Chart Symbols and borrows from the computer age to provide unambiguous information on the chart in the form of dialogue boxes.
A prompt system is employed incorporating a step by step methodology and Pro Forma planning layout, either as written sheets or the direct use of the Dolphin software.
A number of relevant case studies are attached which are extensively referenced to text to illustrate and reinforce the principles involved.
PC Maritime Navigator for Windows and The Passage Planning Manual can be purchased separately.
Please note: The Manual on its own includes a demonstration version of the software.
