Radar – 10 Key Aspects….and more

There’s a new edition of “The Navigator” out and it’s all about radar.  Published by the Nautical Institute, the June issue addresses many of the aspects of radar use by the ship’s navigator.  Whether it is navigation or collision avoidance, radar plays a critical role on the bridge.  But, did you know that the performance criteria for marine radar hasn’t changed much since the 1940s?  Learn why and more – like 10 Key Aspects of using it – in this issue.  Don’t forget, Madden Maritime updates their links to digital magazines frequently.  Find all your favorite periodicals in one place!

Also from the Nautical Institute are the Alert! bulletins.  Addressing the many factors that play into the human element in the maritime industry, these bulletins have been published for over a decade.  If you haven’t read them, your eyes might be opened by the depth of information available.  The latest from May is available.  Titled “A design flaw that lead to a tragedy….“, issue 35 addresses some of the ship design elements that can create unforeseen hazards.  If you haven’t read these bulletins (or watched the videos accompanying many) or just want to review some of the older ones, they are all available HERE on Madden Maritime’s site.

Let’s be careful out there.
