Second vector
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like1,712 views
This document outlines methods and procedures for three situations involving altering course and/or speed of a ship to avoid collision with another ship detected on radar. It provides instructions on how to calculate range to closest point of approach (RCPA), time to closest point of approach (TCPA), target speed (TS), motion (MRM, DRM, SRM) and changing aspects. Examples are given of plotting vectors to determine a new course that maintains a 3 mile CPA when either reducing speed, maintaining course and speed, or altering both course and increasing speed. The document teaches how to analyze radar contacts and calculate new courses and speeds needed to avoid collisions.

- 17. Own ship’s course could be changed to either 054o or 294o . However, there is a reef to starboard and three ships to port that prevent either course changes.Required: What other course of action could be taken?Answer: Reduce speed = 5.2knotsCHANGE SPEED PROBLEMS

- 20. Instead of continuing own ship at the speed of 11 knots and instead of changing course to either 054o or 294o we decide to increase speed to 15 knots.Required: What course change will have to be made so that at 15 knots, the CPA will continue to be 3 miles?Answer: 065oTCHANGE OF SPEED AND COURSE PROBLEM
