In this sense, the desire to pull the bow of your ship out of the hole as quickly as possible is dictated not so much by reason as by emotions. But there are cases when the bow of the impacted vessel acted as a kind of plaster, reducing the rate of water intake and the number of victims. But this is a special topic.

Returning to a specific case, it can be stated that simply the conscientious, competent performance of their duties by at least one of the three "creators" of the accident — a data center, a ferry, a banana truck — in all likelihood, would have prevented a collision.

Therefore, the "academic calm" that permeates the order of the head of the Far Eastern Shipping Company cannot but be surprising. It proceeds only from the successful (purely accidental) outcome of the collision, i.e. the absence of human casualties. And it's not at all about the leniency or severity of the punishments.

When swimming in sight of the coastline with damaged navigation equipment, a situation may arise when it is impossible to determine the course, speed, distance traveled, measure the distance to landmarks, determine the location from two angles due to the absence of three landmarks in the field of view.

In this case, it is recommended to use the following method to determine the location. Having two landmarks in the field of view, the distance to the one whose height above sea level is known is determined by known methods. Then the angle between the landmarks is measured using a sextant or direction finder.

A circle with radius D is drawn from point B. Having set the measured angle on the protractor (or drawn on tracing paper), align the sides of the corner with the landmarks so that the center of the protractor coincides with the circle. The resulting point M will be the desired location.

He pointed out that according to this rule, a ship with a mechanical engine under way, but stopped and unable to move relative to the water, is considered as a vessel in a privileged position. Regarding the lack of a signal in the IPPCC-72 to identify a vessel under way but not moving relative to the water, he pointed out that for these purposes vessels should use the appropriate flag signal from the IPPCC-65.

Commenting on this court decision, Captain Harley writes that prior to its issuance, any boatmaster would undoubtedly have assessed the situation in which the Mayflower and the Divine were located as a course crossing situation in which the Mayflower was obliged to give way to the Divine motor ship.

There has never been any disagreement about this in domestic practice and comments.

Having worked as a captain for a quarter of a century and as a mentor captain for about 10 years, I want to share some thoughts.

There is no doubt about the need for such a position in the Navy. But perestroika requires a new approach to the nomination of managers. I propose that candidates for the position of captain-mentor be considered in advance at the Board of Captains, and after that they must be approved by the management and the party committee of the shipping company. In this case, the captain-mentor becomes a mentor who was chosen by the captains themselves, therefore, they trust him in all respects. Perhaps there are other proposals that should be discussed.

The experienced captain A. Fatyanov told the writer of these lines more than 20 years ago: "I don't need a captain mentor." And, of course, he was right. He himself has always been and remains a mentor to many captains, as everyone can see by reading his articles.

Indeed, a mentor is not necessary for a good captain, but not all captains are good. The disasters of the Mikhail Lermontov and Admiral Nakhimov have shown that there are still many gaps in ensuring the safety of navigation. They need to be eliminated, and mentor captains should play an increasing role here. Los freebets son una excelente forma de probar una plataforma sin arriesgar tu dinero.
