In eGlobe, the chart picture may be presented in the same way as in a radar: RM (Relative Motion) or TM (True Motion). The normal presentation is TM, where the ship moves in the chart picture, with a change of pictures when the ship comes to the edge. In RM the ship stand still and all chart information moves in small steps for each position change, the advantage being that you always have a maximum lead.
True, TM= Chart is still and the ship moves Relative, RM= Chart moves and the ship stands still (Note the parallel function on the Symbol Function Bar)
4.2.9.6
Display Rotation
It is possible to change the chart presentation between: North Up Course Up Head Up.
North Up is the native mode. The Course Up Mode is available only when a Course-overground value is present from EPFS (or GPS-receiver). The Head Up Mode is available only when ships heading is present (Compass). The north arrow is always shown at the top left position of the chart pane independent of setting above (North/Course/Head Up). (Note the parallel function on the Symbol Function Bar)
4.2.9.7 Ruler
eGlobe features several ways for measuring the distance. The presentation of any ruler is started in this menu with the ruler key on the control unit or by clicking in the cursor position square. The ruler is laid out by use of the trackball. The control unit can be used to select if the distance shall be presented in meters or nautical miles. The free ruler measures distance between two points Ship free measures between ship and a point

5.1
Prediction
General
One of the most advanced functions in eGlobe is the possibility of prediction, which is the very essence of all navigation and particularly useful in difficult waters with poor visibility. With prediction, a quick glance at the screen is enough to verify that the requested maneuver is sufficient to go clear. All predictor presentation is designed to show the trend clearly with simple graphical elements without concealing the chart picture. One of the prerequisites for the predictor is the virtual antenna, which makes it possible to correct the physical placement of the antenna and present the antenna in the ships turn center. This avoids parallax and position errors
in calculations and presentation.
5.2
Vector
The vector is the simplest type of prediction, which only shows speed and course over ground. The
length of the vector represents the ships voyage during the set time period for the vector. The heading projection, too, is shown as an indication of the leeway. The vector is suitable for use in open waters, where the predictors are often too sensitive, since a ship at sea is normally allowed somewhat more space to move.
5.3
Predictor
predictor, which the ships speed
The predictor is a more advanced type of graphically shows the integrated result of and course over ground and the rate of turn.
The predictor function is primarily intended for archipelago navigation and harbor approach, and is particularly appreciated at poor visibility, strong winds and rapid-flowing water. By selecting the Precision table or the Cross-over table, it is possible to change the predictor characteristics. With the Precision table selected, the programs filter characteristics are adapted to use for navigation in narrow waters, where all tendencies must show quickly and clearly. With the Cross-over table selected, the filters are adapted to give a more stable
Page 79
predictor and calmer numeric data.
5.4
Full Predictor
The full predictor is a highly advanced graphical presentation of the integrated result of the ships heading projection, speed and course over ground and rate of turn. In addition to the turn prediction, this predictor also shows the ships sweep area, which may be considerable during a narrow turn with a strong side wind or flowing water.
The function is primarily intended for archipelago navigation, harbor approach, steering and putting in, and is particularly appreciated at poor visibility, strong winds and rapid-flowing water. The characteristics of the full predictor can be influenced with the Precision and Cross-over tables.
5.5
Extra Vectors
Extra
vector show the ships fore-and-aft and abeam speed and the rate of turn (ROT). The corner vectors are especially useful for very large ships during complicated maneuvers at extremely low speed, where they offer a very clear graphical illustration of the totality of the ships motion.
5.6
Shadows
The presentation of shadows is not a prediction, but shadows have a close relationship to prediction and are therefore described here. The shadows show the history in the form of a selectable number of ship silhouettes that are drawn at a selectable interval.
They make it possible for the navigator to check visually that the prediction is correct. Together, the shadows and the predictor clearly show if the ships motion would diverge due to errors in the positioning or the compass.

Chart Handler
A special application Chart Handler is used to manage chart collection for eGlobe. To start Chart Handler change to the Start Up menu application and select Chart Handler:
It is possible to use Chart Handler running together with eGlobe but for safety reasons we recommend that chart maintenance is done in the port when eGlobe is not used for navigation. On a networked installation (Master - Back Up) we recommend to use always the same workstation for chart maintenance. All chard Data such as new SENC, Updates and Permits as applicable will be copied to another station(s) on eGlobe network.

Navigation
Digital charts can be presented in the views (1-4). Navigation is made by use of a selected route that is displayed graphically on the chart. A number of help tools are available. The navigation instruments make it easy to follow the planned route with consideration to the current leeway. Other tools are: vectors, heading projection and trails, drawn on the chart close to the ship.
8.1
Navigation mode
The chart presentation can be position-controlled or free. In position-controlled navigation, the picture moves so that the ship is always visible on the chart. In free navigation, the picture can be moved with the trackball or arrow keys. Currently active navigation mode is indicated by Nav or Free on the symbol function bar.
8.2
Selection of views
Views refer to pre-defined chart pictures and settings of the ship presentation as well as tools with various settings.

There are different navigation tables, which supply continuous graphical and numerical information as to how the ship follows the current route. In addition, there is continuous position quality display. 8.12.1 Precision table The precision table is especially intended for navigation in archipelagos and narrow waters. It presents numerical and graphical information, which with very high precision guides the navigator in following the current route. The instrument shows with meter precision exactly how the ship adheres to the route. During turns the instrument shows a turn prognosis as an indication of how optimally the turn will be completed. In addition, filter parameters in the program are adjusted for prompt indication of tendencies in ship symbol and numerical values, which helps the navigator to see any tendencies in the ships motion at a very early stage.

8.12.2 Ocean sailing table The ocean-sailing table is intended for navigation over open water. It presents numerical and graphical information, which guides the navigator in following the current route. The instrument is designed to guide the navigator clearly and optimally the straightest way in the route even in rapid-flowing water. The box HTS (Heading To Steer) shows the course through water that the ship must steer to compensate for wind drift, water streams and gyrocompass errors in latitude and speed. The filter parameters are adjusted to give a calm and stable presentation of ship symbol and numerical values even in bad weather.

8.12.3 Navigation instrument The navigation instrument is a graphical two-dimensional description of the ships situation relative to route. The scale normally goes in steps of 10 meters but may be changed in the menu Configure. The ship can be shown in scale or showing drift double-click the ship symbol to change the display. We recommend strongly for navigation: ship showing drift Showing drift, the drift is presented graphically as the ships turn in the instrument, and tendencies to a course drift are shown even before the drift is a fact. If the antenna has been moved out as a virtual antenna, the instrument shows the position of the virtual antenna. Ship in scale, the display is enlarged compared to the chart and the ships turn presents the actual heading direction relative to route. 8.12.4 Navigation instrument information during straight travel The numbers at the top represent planned route courses current course to the left, and course after next turn to the right. The number at the bottom represents the lateral divergence from the route in meters. The arrow in front of the lateral divergence indicates starboard or port divergence.

8.12.7 GPS status One of the corner-stones for exact positioning is to have control over possible errors from the D-GPS receiver. The fact that position errors may appear at random and often in harbor areas and narrow waters, where the need for high positions quality is critical, calls for a quick and clear indication. With a standard D-GPS receiver, you will see if the D-GPS receiver receives valid corrections, number of satellites used in the position calculation and position quality based on used satellites. With an eGlobe-compatible D-GPS receiver, you will have complete control of the position quality, and with those ADVETO D-GPS receivers that make use of AIM technology, position errors are indicated with a precision down to the decimeter. It is possible to change frequencies on the IALA receiver or change the correction source. Critical data from the DGPS receiver are displayed continuously, and these data are weighed together and presented as a line in the position quality indicator. For extra clearness, the position quality indicator shifts colors at pre-set breakpoint values. With an AIM-compatible ADVETO D-GPS, green field indicates a position quality of better than 1 meter and yellow field a position quality of 1-5 meters. Read field indicates a position error of 5-10 meters.

Trails can be displayed in different ways: Normal Shows the ships voyage with colored points. Emphasized Show the trail with thicker points. Depth Colors Shows the depth in the form of points of different colors, where the color of the point represents the depth from the connected echo sounder. There are two different color schemes, one for shallow waters and one for deep waters. The color scheme may be changed freely in the system set-up to suit individual requirements. Depth Figures Shows the depth as depth numbers from the connected echo sounder. If an exact position determination of the depth recording is required, the virtual antenna must be moved out to the point where the echo-sounder sensor is placed. N.B. The trail setting does not affect the recording of data from echo sounder. The trail display type can be changed freely at replay. Recording of current depth can be corrected for draft and mean water level in the system setup; the depth saved in the recording will thereby be the true depth.

AIS transponder and ARPA targets

General
Automatic Identification System, AIS, means that ships equipped with an AIS-transponder, will transmit their own position (and other data). This data can be presented onboard other ships. The AIS-standard is a global world standard according to IMO. It states that all ships with gross tonnage of over 300 tons must be equipped with AIS. As a standard, eGlobe has highly advanced possibilities of receiving data from AIS-equipped ships. The information that can be presented is: name, call signal, MMSI number, speed, course over ground, heading, position quality, draft, destination and, in addition, the ships actual size. It is also possible to send text messages to other AIS-equipped ships in the area, e.g. with a request for passage or the like. ARPA targets from own radar can be presented in the chart picture the same way as AIS targets. In addition, EBL and VRM and cursor position from the radar can also be presented in the chart.
9.2.2
AIS and ARPA presentation in the chart
AIS and ARPA targets are presented in the chart automatically See the figure below.
AIS targets are presented with their names, e.g. SANDY HOOK. Radar targets are presented as Radar and a consecutive number, e.g. Radar601 A simple presentation of data will be achieved by placing the cursor on the target, e.g. TANKER A single click on the symbol toggles between active and sleeping mode. Meteorological information from weather stations can also be displayed in the chart presentation. Aids-to-navigation e.q MALMOE REDD is displayed as a diamond. The AIS with MMSI 211000777 is a SAR aircraft The AIS Sart is displayed as a circle with a cross.

10 Routes
10.1 General
eGlobe has one of markets most advanced turn and route handling functions, which continuously and optimally guides the navigator and supplies information as to how well the ship follows the route and whether or not the time table will be upheld. A unique eGlobe function is the dynamic F distance which (slightly simplified) can be described as the lead required in order to start the turn so that the ship, regardless of its speed, will actually start turning when it should. Turning in eGlobe makes use of the internationally recognized methods Line of Turn and Wheel over Point, which offer superior security compared to the more traditional methods arrival alarm and bisector. The difference is illustrated by the figures below.
Idealtrack
Start of turn, normal speed
Start of turn, slow speed
Figure 64. Dynamic F distance
The dynamic F distance automatically considers the ships speed, and the Wheel-over-point (WOP) signal is issued in time for the ship to start the turn optimally and be able to carry it through in a calm and safe manner. The setting of the dynamic F distance can be adapted to each ship during the system set-up, since the differences are considerable between the different types of ships.
Idealtrack
Figure 65. Line of Turn
August 2012
Page 143
With Line of Turn turn handling and the dynamic F distance, you will enter the next leg of the route in an optimal manner, even if you choose to go into the turn wrongly, e.g. due to passing ship.
Idealtrack
Figure 32. Bisector turn handling
Bisector turn handling produces a parallax error, which is as large when you come out of the turn as when you enter it. eGlobe also features the possibility of advanced control of auto pilot and DP system. eGlobe corrects the auto pilot dynamically so that the ship automatically can follow the route with very high precision. Integrity is maintained, since eGlobe and the auto pilot exchange data continuously. In case of impaired integrity, the system automatically issues an alarm. Please observe that the advanced control of autopilot described above must be approved before taken into service.
Routes are used for planning the voyage reference for the Nav instruments information about leeway and lateral divergence ETA calculation during the voyage Automatic change of scales print-out of voyage plan Information to auto pilot for Track control Routes can be produced with the following methods:

Insert waypoints Waypoints can be inserted in 3different ways Press the keyboard key [Insert] Press the key [INS] on the control unit Right-click and select Insert Waypoint in the pop-up window; then left-click to insert a new waypoint. To complete Insert Waypoint, right-click once more and deselect the ticked box. 1 Place the cursor on the starting-point for the route 2 Insert a new waypoint as described above (creation of WP 0) 3 Place the cursor on the position of waypoint No. 1 4 Insert a new waypoint as described above (WP 1 is created and the name WP 1 is written) 5 Continue according to 3-4 above and lay off all waypoints to be included in the route
Figure 67. Adjust turn radius
August 2012
Page 146
The simplest way to change the turn radius of already laid waypoints is to place the cursor on the waypoint position; a square cursor is then displayed. You may now adjust the turn radius by pressing [+] or [] on the keyboard or control unit. 7 Select the respective waypoint in the Edit route table and enter a suitable name, confirm with [OK]. This name will then be presented instead of the waypoint number. 8 Define ETA and Auto-Zoom points according to the respective descriptions below. 9 End and save the route with [Route] [Save Route as] on the menu bar 10 Enter a suitable name with the keyboard and confirm with [Enter] The route is now completed and saved; its extension and characteristics can, of course, be changed at any time. If you want to save a change, select menu item [Route] [Save Route] and changes will be saved permanently. Tip! The easiest way to create a route is to use a rather large scale to lay waypoints in their approximate positions and then zoom in and adjust each one carefully. The easiest way to adjust the waypoint radius is by use of the control unit. Names, speed limits, etc. (if any) may then be entered by use of the function table Edit route. When you double-click on a waypoint number in the route editing table, the presentation jumps to the next waypoint automatically. As the number of routes grows, it may become easier to open an existing route and change it to a new destination or pathway, rather than creating a completely new route. When an existing route has been changed as required, select [Save as] and enter a new route name.
10.3.2 Adjust waypoint position 1. Place the cursor on the WP that needs to be adjusted, so that the waypoint symbol is activated. 2. Keep the right trackball button pressed down and drag the WP to a new position

10.7 Multi Routes

It is a great advantage to be able to handle and use Multi routes. Depending on different alternative routes, in a fast and flexible way, route can be chosen depending on weather, meeting with other traffic etc. 10.7.1 Making Multi Routes It is relatively easy to make Multi Routes: 1. First make a normal route, the main route 2. Make an alternate route 3. Connect the alternate route to the main route 4. Other alternate route can then be made and connected. First we make the main route as in example below, consists of WP0 to WP5:
Now the first alternate route will be made, remember that WP5 must be the waypoint that the cursor last touched. In other words, do not touch any other waypoint with the cursor! We will now make an alternate route from WP1, therefore lay cursor somewhere after WP1. When connecting against the main-route the exact position is not critical, it should be somewhere between WP1 and WP2.
The new waypoint on picture above is WP6. Toggle Start Point Status: mark WP6 with cursor then press Shift-key and at the same time left-click. Now choose Toggle Start Point Status as on picture below.
August 2012
Page 151
Carry on with alternate route by laying out complete alternate-route (WP6-WP7-WP8-WP9)
Mark once again WP6, press Shift-key and left-click, choose Connect from Leg
At last, the other end on the alternate-route (WP9) shall be connected to the main route, mark WP9, press Shift-key and left-click, choose Connect To Leg
Now we shall add another alternate-route. We start by laying some extra WP on the existing
Page 152
route to make it possible for the new alternate-route to have something to connect to. (WP8 and WP2)
When adding new alternate-routes it is important that the very last WP in route are touched and marked before we start the work with the alternate-route. If in doubt what WP that is the very last you can always look in the Route editing table. When last WP is touched lay out a new WP as in picture below, Toggle Start Point Status
Lay out next WP according to picture below, Connect To Leg
At last, mark WP according to picture, Connect From Leg

10.7.2 To use Multi Routes The advantage using Multi Routes is the possibility to, in an easy - quick and flexible way, change the route you are following. This can be done when weather, meetings with other ships changes, there is no need for changing and loading another route anymore! All navigation info from eGlobe will come from the chosen Multi Route: steering information, instrument info, turning info, ETA etc. To activate just click simply on the alternative (on a WP) that you wish to make active. Actual alternative will be marked red as in picture below. Example 1

11 Database
11.1 General
A database is a file in the computer where information is stored. The database can be compared to an index or register, where information is arranged systematically. eGlobe features advanced database management. The databases can be used to supplement Chart information or to enter own information. A standard set of symbols is delivered with the program, but you may also draw own symbols or even delete the display of normal buoyage in the chart and only use databases for the buoyage. Names and text information for database objects can be displayed in the chart picture. The database format is Microsoft database format MDB, which makes it easy to develop your own application outside eGlobe in Microsoft Access.
11.2 Start of database

Starting a database means that its content is presented with symbols on the chart. The database is then ready for input or editing. To start a database: 1. Click on Database Start Database on the menu bar 2. Select a database 3. Click on [Open]
The database is active. The name of the active database is displayed at the top of the program header, after selected route.
11.3 Input into database

Make sure that the database you want is active. A new database can be created with [Database] [New Database] on the menu bar.
11.3.1 Database settings Select, under [Database] [Database settings] on the menu bar, the unit from which the position should be retrieved, i.e. the cursor position, Virtual Antenna position or GPS antenna position. Since the virtual antenna can be moved, it is possible to insert a database point exactly at, for example, the crane jib position when beaconing.
Page 155
Database points can be assigned a name as well as a comment. Under Name and Comment, you may select automatic input of time and/or date. The alternative Enter means that for each new point, you will have the possibility to enter name and comment. The format of entered database points is selected under Type, either general or at the input occasion by the selection Enter. 11.3.2 Input of database point 1. Place the cursor on the required position in the chart. 2. Right-click and select [Position to database] The editing window will pop up, if Name, Comment or Type has been set to Enter in the database settings.
Figure 70. Input of database point
In this window, you may enter name, comment (any length), type. Usage is intended for input of a scale limit for the presentation of the database point. If you want a text in the chart by the database point, press the button Text to display the right-hand part of the menu. Select text size by clicking on the arrows (the size is presented in the box); Placement is used to select where, in relation to the database point, to place the text. The tick boxes to the left of the fields Name and Comment are used to hide name or comments for the current database point; as default they are ticked, but may easily be cleared (no tick) if you do not want display of name or text.
Tip! If you want to lay off a database point with Lat/Lon in a known position, proceed as described above but enter the position in the Lat/Lon windows.
Click on [OK] to confirm the input.

12 Recording / playback
The voyage with its data from connected sensors is always recorded and cannot be turned off. ENC source, edition, date, cell and update history are also automatically recorded in same way as the sensor data above. The voyage can be played back and the data will be presented on the screen. Recordings are saved per 24 hours with the date used as the file name. All voyages made last 90 days are stored.
12.1 Recording of data

Data are recorded automatically. Own position data (GPS1-GPS2) are recorded as well as data from other connected sensors: Gyro or other compass, AIS, Radar, Echo sounder, Wind meter, etc.
12.2 Auto delete

To avoid that the hard disk becomes full with the risks that this entails, there is a function which automatically deletes recordings after a certain time (90 days). Actually, the determining factor is not age in itself, but rather the recordings file name, which always represents the date of the recording day in the format YYYYMMDD (20010101). If you do not want a recording to be deleted, you should save it with a different name as described below.
12.3 Save recording as

1. Select the menu Recording Save Recording as 2. Enter a new file name (it may be 255 character long, e.g. the same date with a text added to it): 20010101 steering engine breakdown in the Kiel canal The recording is saved permanently

13 Geodetic datums
When a position on the curved surface of the earth is indicated in latitude and longitude, they correspond to the angle measurements from the center of the earth. In the course of history, the conception of the earths dimension and shape has been revised from time to time. This is expressed, among other things, in a generalized model of the earth, an ellipsoid that serves as the basis for the position-indicating circular measures. Actually, it is impossible to present the earth on a paper chart, since the earth is round and a paper chart flat. To achieve a paper chart that corresponds to reality as much as possible, a large number of ellipsoids with their associated coordinate systems are used in different countries of the world for map and chart production.
13.1 Presentation of geodetic datums

The presentation is fixed to WGS84. Selection of other Datums is NOT possible. Should positioning system (e.g. EPFS1) provide a position with any different datum and alarm will be given by eGlobe.

15.1 Color Differentiation test
The colors in a monitor can change when the monitor ages. Or the mariner may want to use other setting then the calibrated settings. For both reasons there is a tool to check that you can clearly see all details of the charts. The Color Differentiation Test Diagram is a part of ECDIS chart 1 and you can use it as follows: 1. Choose menu About Chart 1 2. Move cursor to Color Test Diagram Click 3. Check with all palettes that you can discriminate the lines from background color of the boxes.
15.2 Regarding color-calibration

Only Panel PCs and monitors mentioned in the DNV type-approval certificate can be used in the system.

17.2 Common Terms and Abbreviations explained

AIS The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a short range coastal tracking system used on ships and by Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) for identifying and locating vessels by electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships and VTS stations. Information such as unique identification, position, course, and speed can be displayed on a screen or an ECDIS. AIS is intended to assist the vessel's watchstanding officers and allow maritime authorities to track and monitor vessel movements. The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) requires AIS to be fitted aboard international voyaging ships with gross tonnage (GT) of 300 or more tons, and all passenger ships regardless of size. It is estimated that more than 40,000 ships currently carry AIS class A equipment.
CRS Or Course Over Ground (COG) is the direction of the path followed by the ship. DGPS Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is an enhancement to Global Positioning System that uses a network of fixed, ground-based reference stations to broadcast the difference between the positions indicated by the satellite systems and the known fixed positions. These stations broadcast the difference between the measured satellite pseudoranges and actual (internally computed) pseudoranges, and receiver stations may correct their pseudoranges by the same amount. The correction signal is for maritime use broadcast over the LW long-wave band between 285 kHz and 325 kHz. ECS See ECDIS. ECDIS A typeapproved Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is a computerbased navigation information system that complies with International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations and can be used as an alternative to paper navigation charts. IMO refers to similar systems not meeting the regulations as Electric Chart Systems (ECS). An ECDIS system displays the information from electronic navigational charts (ENC) and integrates position information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other navigational sensors, such as radar and automatic identification systems (AIS). It may also
August 2012
Page 183
display additional navigation-related information. IMO has proposed compulsory carriage of ECDIS and ENCs on high speed crafts from 1 July 2008 onwards for all new crafts, and from 1 July 2010 onwards for existing crafts. ENC An electronic navigational chart (ENC) is an official database created by a national hydrographic office for use with an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). An electronic chart must conform to standards stated in the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Only ENCs can be used within ECDIS to meet the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) performance standard for ECDIS. ENCs are available through Regional Electronic Navigational Chart Coordinating Centre (RENCs) and national electronic chart centers. Distributors like the UKHO and PRIMAR then distribute these to chart agents. In July 2008, the first mandatory requirements for the use of ENC and ECDIS will become international law. IHO Special Publication S-63 developed by the IHO Data Protection Security Working Group is used to commercially encrypt and digitally sign ENC data. Chart data is captured based on standards stated in IHO Special Publication S-57, and is displayed according to a display format stated in IHO Special Publication S-52 to ensure consistency of data rendering between different systems. EPFS Electronic Position Fixing System. Can be satellite navigation systems such as: GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO or earthbound radiofix systems such as: DECCA, LORAN-C, OMEGA etc. ETA Estimated Time of Arrival GALILEO Galileo is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) currently being built by the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA). The 3.4 billion project is an alternative and complementary to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLONASS. On 30 November 2007 the 27 EU transportation ministers involved reached an agreement that it should be operational by 2013. GLONASS GLONASS (abbreviation "GLObal NAvigation Satellite System" in English) is a radio-based satellite navigation system, developed by the former Soviet Union and now operated for the
August 2012
Page 184
Russian government by the Russian Space Forces. Development on the GLONASS began in 1976, with a goal of global coverage by 1991. Beginning on 12 October 1982, numerous rocket launches added satellites to the system until the constellation was completed in 1995. Following completion, the system rapidly fell into disrepair with the collapse of the Russian economy. Beginning in 2001, Russia committed to restoring the system, and in recent years has diversified, introducing the Indian government as a partner, and accelerated the program with a goal of restoring global coverage by 2009. Great Circle The great circle, also known as the Riemannian circle, is the path with the smallest curvature, and hence, an arc (or an orthodrome) of a great circle is the shortest path between two points on the surface. The distance between any two points on a sphere is therefore known as the great-circle distance. The great-circle route is the shortest path between two points across the surface of a sphere GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based global navigation satellite system. It provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to worldwide users on a continuous basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth. GPS is made up of three parts: between 24 and 32 satellites in Medium Earth Orbit, four control and monitoring stations on Earth, and the actual navigation devices users own. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space that GPS receivers use to provide three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the time.
IMO IMO is a specialized agency of the United Nations with 169 Member States and three Associate Members, IMO is based in the United Kingdom with around 300 international staff. IMO's specialized committees and sub-committees are the focus for the technical work to update existing legislation or develop and adopt new regulations, with meetings attended by maritime experts from Member Governments, together with those from interested intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. The result is a comprehensive body of international conventions, supported by hundreds of recommendations governing every facet of shipping. There are, firstly, measures aimed at the prevention of accidents, including standards for ship design, construction, equipment, operation and manning - key treaties include SOLAS, the MARPOL convention for the prevention of pollution by ships and the STCW convention on standards of training for seafarers.

MOB Man Over Board Rhumbline A rhumb line (or loxodrome) is a line crossing all meridians of longitude at the same angle, i.e. a path derived from a defined initial bearing. That is, upon taking an initial bearing, one proceeds along the same bearing, without changing the direction as measured relative to true north.
