⚓ Maritime Essentials #3

GPS FAILURE AT NIGHT

Coastal Navigation Scenario

The situation:

“GPS has just failed. It’s nighttime, and radar shows multiple coastal targets within 3 NM. You’re the OOW. What do you do?”

The priority: Stay safe. Don’t panic.

1. Call the Master

If you are in doubt about the safety of navigation, call the Master without delay.

2. Reduce Risk

Proceed at a safe speed appropriate to the prevailing visibility, traffic and navigational conditions. Arrange an additional lookout and ensure the engines are ready for immediate manoeuvring.

3. Revert to Alternative Position Fixing

Use all appropriate available means, including:

📡 Radar ranges & bearings

🧭 Visual bearings & transits

🌊 Echo sounder / soundings

📍 Dead reckoning

Where possible, verify the ship’s position using independent methods rather than relying on a single fix. Visual and radar position-fixing techniques are particularly important in coastal waters.

4. Maintain Collision Awareness

Continue using radar and other available aids to assess surrounding traffic. AIS should support situational awareness, not replace proper radar observation, visual lookout or COLREG-compliant decision-making.

5. If Position Becomes Uncertain

Take immediate action to keep the vessel clear of danger. If necessary, reduce speed or alter course to increase the available sea room while establishing a reliable position.

6. Record & Monitor

Document the failure, actions taken and relevant times, and continue frequent position checks using the most reliable methods available.

# The Key Lesson

GPS is a powerful navigation aid —

but it should never be the only source of confidence in your position.

⚓ A good navigator doesn’t just know how to use navigation equipment.

They know how to navigate when that equipment fails.

What is ARPA Radar?

ARPA — Automatic Radar Plotting Aid is a radar-based navigation system designed to automatically acquire and track selected targets, continuously update their movement information, and assist the bridge team in assessing collision risk.

🔹 What does ARPA do?

📡 Target Acquisition & Tracking
ARPA can acquire targets manually or automatically and continuously track their movement relative to own ship.

🧭 Target Motion Information
It provides key data such as target bearing, range, course and speed, helping the Officer of the Watch build a clearer picture of surrounding traffic.

📍 CPA — Closest Point of Approach
Indicates the predicted minimum distance between own ship and a tracked target.

⏱️ TCPA — Time to Closest Point of Approach
Indicates the estimated time remaining before the target reaches its CPA.

⚠️ Collision Avoidance Support
By combining target motion data with CPA and TCPA, ARPA helps the bridge team assess developing situations and make informed navigational decisions.

But remember :
ARPA is an aid — not a substitute for the Officer of the Watch.

Its accuracy can be affected by factors such as target detection, sea and rain clutter, tracking errors and target swap. Proper radar interpretation and good watchkeeping remain essential.

⚓ Maritime Essentials #2
Understanding the technology is important. Knowing its limitations is even more important.

EPIRB vs. SART — Understanding the Two Pillars of Distress Response

🔹 EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon)

The EPIRB is the vessel's primary alerting device in a distress situation. Once activated — manually or automatically upon immersion — it transmits a 406 MHz distress signal to the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. This signal carries the vessel's unique identity (MMSI/registration data) and, if GPS-integrated, its precise position. The alert is relayed to the nearest Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC), which initiates the Search and Rescue (SAR) response. In essence, the EPIRB's job is to say: "This vessel is in distress, and here is where it was last located."

🔸 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder)

The SART comes into play once SAR units are already en route. It doesn't transmit continuously — instead, it activates in response to X-band (9 GHz) radar pulses emitted by an approaching ship or aircraft. When triggered, the SART responds with a distinctive series of 12 dots displayed along a radial line on the rescuer's radar screen, growing more defined as the distance closes. This allows search teams to pinpoint the exact position of survivors or a liferaft, even in poor visibility, fog, or darkness — conditions where visual search would otherwise fail.

The Critical Distinction:

EPIRB = long-range alerting (satellite-based, initiates the response)

SART = short-range homing (radar-based, guides the final approach)

Both are mandatory carriage requirements under SOLAS Chapter IV (GMDSS) for applicable vessel categories, and together they form a continuous chain — from the first distress alert to the final, precise rescue.

Crosshead Clearance Measurement – Main Engine

Carrying out Crosshead Clearance Measurements on board as part of the main engine inspection and condition assessment.

Accurate measurement of the crosshead clearances is essential to monitor the condition of the crosshead bearing, guide shoes, and associated components, and to identify any abnormal wear or deviations from the maker’s specified limits.

🔧 Crosshead Clearance Measurement
📏 Accurate measurement & recording
⚙️ Assessment of wear and condition
🛠️ Verification against manufacturer’s limits

Regular inspections and accurate measurements are key to maintaining engine reliability, safe operation, and preventing unexpected failures.

Precision in measurement. Reliability in operation

⚓ M/V Banyas 2 – Class Survey Completed

Another certificate renewed, another step forward.

This week, Banyas 2 passed her Annual Class Survey with Korean Register (KR), confirming she continues to meet the highest standards of safety and seaworthiness.

Great effort from everyone on board and onshore who made it happen.

05/07/2026

🚢 Preparedness Is Not Optional — It's a Standard.

Aboard M/V BANYAS 2, the crew recently completed scheduled Fire and Abandon Ship Drills as part of the vessel's emergency preparedness program.

Conducted in line with SOLAS requirements, these drills ensure that every crew member knows their role, their station, and their responsibilities — before an emergency ever demands it.

Because when it matters, there is no time to learn.

At Sena Ship Management, operational safety is not a checkpoint. It is a culture — built through consistent training, structured procedures, and a crew that is always ready.
