Abstract

This article examines the ways of passage planning made by captains and officers of the navigation watch 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 primarily to reduce the potential risk of collision when two vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses.

Keywords
