PLOTTING COURSES IN COASTAL NAVIGATION

Ovaj članak bavi se ispitivanjem načina planiranja putovanja u obalnoj navigaciji od strane zapovjednika broda i časnika plovidbene straže, te njihovim postu-panjem u skladu s propisima i preporukama prilikom crtanja kursova kod obilaženja opasnosti i prolazaka područjima ograničene širine. Dobiveni rezultati treba-li bi ukazati na glavne nedostatke postojećeg sustava obveza i preporuka kod planiranja obalne plovidbe, ponuditi dodatne preporuke te donekle standardizirati način povlačenje kursova. S ovim dodatnim preporu-kama primarno bi se smanjila potencijalna opasnost od sudara prilikom mimoilaženja brodova u nasuprot-nim kursovima. Ključne riječi: planiranje putovanja, obalna navigacija, povlačenje kursova SUMMARY This article examines the ways of passage planning made by captains and officers of the navigation wat-ch in coastal navigation, and their acting in line with regulations and guidelines when plotting courses in narrow passages and avoiding dangers. The obtained results should point out the main drawbacks of the existing system of duties and guidelines in short-sea navigation planning, suggest additional guidelines and, to a certain extent, standardize course plotting. The aim of these additional recommendations is pri-marily to reduce the potential risk of collision when two vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reci-procal courses. Key words: Passage planning, coastal navigation, plotting course
