The Shipowners’ Club provides P&I insurance for small and specialised vessels and, as such, the majority of our vessels trade in coastal waters. The fine technique of calculating tides is a very important aspect of voyage planning and is a crucial factor in determining whether passage through a particular waterway is safe or not.
Our analysis of the claims’ causation has highlighted the fact that many grounding claims could have easily been avoided by simply following this basic technique.
The purpose of this booklet is to allow the seafarer to have a better understanding on how to perform the tidal calculations. We have included many solved examples as well as practice questions hoping that it will give a better understanding on the subject.
This booklet is one of three publications in a series and it is envisaged that together they will help eliminate some of the difficulties that befall those not so well versed in marine navigation.
We remain forever indebted to Captain H. Subramaniam for compiling this booklet series for us. Captain Subramaniam was a distinguished member of the nautical fraternity in a career spanning over 6 decades, including over 30 years of teaching experience. Apart from this series, he also authored eight textbooks on the operation of merchant ships which continue to be used by seafarers across the globe. It was his ability to put a subject across in a nutshell that made all his books easy to understand and helpful to those these are intended for.
