Marine navigation systems

Marine navigation systems are advanced tools that help ships determine their position, plot routes, and avoid hazards at sea. They integrate GPS technology, radar, sonar, and electronic charts to provide real-time data on location, nearby objects, and water depths. These systems enable accurate navigation, enhance safety, and improve efficiency by allowing crew to make informed decisions even in challenging conditions. Modern marine navigation combines digital maps with sensor inputs, ensuring precise course plotting and situational awareness for safe voyage management.
