Functionality to initiate and plan an upcoming passage.
Regular weather checks are wise. Using passage planning tools (like PredictWind) which incorporate weather forecasts into route planning can make safer and shorter passages is possible. Update the route at any time with an updated GPX file and relevant data (waypoint changes, arrival times and distances) are changed. The digital float plan is also updated.
Set a standard period of time (perhaps four hours) for each watch shift and the system will create a countdown clock for the person on-watch. At each changes a checklist may be used to ensure the proper information is communicated and steps are taken for an efficienct and safe handover.
NAVOPLAN monitors the passage at all times estimating arrival times, fuel usage and distance remaining. For motor vessels NAVOPLAN also enables temperature readings to look for potential developing issues.
In addition to checklists used during watch changes, NAVOPLAN can also utilizes periodic checks at intervals to inspect the vessel and monitor performance. The time between checks and tasks to include are easily created and maintained by the owner/operator.
