Description
Radar and ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aids) are standard systems on all commercial vessels and are widely used in the leisure maritime
sector. This fully revised new edition covers the complete radar/ARPA installation and serves as the most comprehensive and up-to-date
reference on equipment and techniques for radar observers using older and newer systems alike. Suitable for use both as a professional
user's reference and as a training text, it covers all aspects of radar, ARPA and integrated bridge system technology, its use and its
role in shipboard operations. Reference is made throughout to IMO (International Maritime Organisation) Performance Standards, the role
of radar in navigation and in collision avoidance, and to international professional and amateur marine operations qualifications.
Audience
Professional mariners, port, ship & boat managers ashore, leisure industry users, boat & shipbuilders, yacht skippers, naval architects,
ship equipment specifiers, maritime lawyers, port & harbour authorities, marine equipment manufacturers, and command level marine students
studying for deck and navigation qualifications.
