Upon course completion, students will be able to demonstrate proficiency in determining the movement of contact vessels, the CPA (closest point of approach) and using a change of course or change of speed to safely clear other vessels by the required distance. In addition, the stu­dent will be able to determine the con­tact vessel’s relative and true course. Students practice their skills using the “Nautilus” radar simulation in various inland and offshore scenarios.
