Marine Navigation is the process of determining a ship's position and planning its course over water. It involves using various tools and techniques, such as maps, compasses, and GPS systems, to ensure safe travel across oceans and seas. Navigators must be skilled in reading nautical charts and understanding weather patterns to avoid hazards like rocks, shallow waters, and storms. To navigate effectively, sailors often rely on lighthouses and buoys that mark safe passages and warn of dangers. Additionally, modern technology, including radar and sonar, helps in detecting other vessels and underwater obstacles. This combination of traditional methods and advanced technology ensures that ships reach their destinations safely.
