Description

Passage Planning Practice – Second Edition 

 

This publication analyses the four stages of passage planning – appraisal, planning, execution and monitoring. It works through an example of a passage from Rotterdam to Gibraltar, highlighting the key tasks forming an effective plan. This book should be read alongside its companion title, ‘Passage Planning Principles. 

This book guides the reader through preparing a passage plan, providing detailed information at each step to ensure that nothing is overlooked. 

It gradually builds a complete passage plan for a voyage from Rotterdam to Gibraltar, providing chart extracts for each leg of the passage, template plans and checklists. 

This publication will greatly benefit those new to passage planning or as a reference guide for more experienced crew. 

All ships should prepare a passage plan that covers the voyage from the departure berth to the arrival berth. It should adhere to national and international regulations and any Company Standing Orders. It must follow navigational advice and standards within the Company’s Safety Management System where appropriate. 

Ships of a particular Company are likely to adopt a similar format for their passage plans, although variations caused by cargo type, ship type or draught or commercial agreements are possible. 

The passage plan described here has not been prepared to any specific Company instructions. 

The main difference between passage plans is in the layout. Company-specific documents, such as proformas and checklists, are generally used. We have provided a generic layout for this plan, which balances the chart’s information with other related passage plan documents. Remember to use all relevant passage plan documents in conjunction with the navigational charts. 

This book is designed to be read alongside the first chapter of ‘Passage Planning Principles (ISBN 978-1-85609-853-3), where many of the terms and concepts are described in more detail.
