Deep Sea Navigation Guide

This document provides guidance for deep sea navigation procedures on CMA SHIPS vessels. It outlines key preparation steps the Navigation Officer should take which include ensuring all charts and publications are up to date and collecting the latest navigational and weather information. It also describes the process for planning position including entering an estimated starting position on the chart and determining actual positions at regular intervals using various means like GPS, cross bearings, and celestial observations. Maintaining an accurate tracked route by continuously correcting for any observed or measured drift is also emphasized.
