Σάββατο & Κυριακή 26-27 Ιανουαρίου 2019

Το Σάββατο και την Κυριακή 26 και 27 Ιανουαρίου 2019, θα διεξαχθεί το διήμερο σεμινάριο Modern Nautical Meteorology, which is approved from Lloyds in within the framework of DANAOS certification Assessment and Training Center. The seminar constitutes a modern and comprehensive approach to the field of marine meteorology, which is so sensitive for the safety of a ship, bridging in a unique way the old but always useful knowledge with all the latest developments in weather issues on board ships.

THE 1st day of the seminar is dedicated to how to read surface charts (facsimile) and wave charts. Through numerous examples and practical applications, participants learn not only to read the charts but also how to work with them, thus avoiding dangerous weather conditions and planning their course with safety and confidence. They also learn why they should always read the facsimile at sea, even if they have weather navigation programs.

THE 2nd day is dedicated to the modern methods available to receive all official meteorological information on board by e-mail. Thus are analyzed all the modern methods by which the captain can gain access to the weather forecast, anywhere on the planet, without depending on the facsimile or the office. At the same time, the usefulness of Grib Files is explained, while free weather applications are also given. During the 2nd day the participants work with their laptop.
