3. How the system works.
AWARD OF OLQ CREDIT MARKS
As per requirement of the Merchant shipping Industry, all maritime students are imparted training for
development of personality and skill in organizational management.
Every semester cadet will be assessed for OLQ.
Every student/Cadet is required to actively participate in various activities of the institute as well as
various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Every Cadet will be awarded OLQ marks for all
his activities as stated below.
In order to offer equal opportunities to all Cadet to earn maximum amount of OLQ marks allotted for
any semester and also to ensure effective participation of all Cadets in all the extra-curricular and co-
curricular activities, the distribution of the OLQ marks will be as per the chart below. OLQ marks
will be deducted for indiscipline as per the chart below.
The total of OLQ marks allotted for each semester will be divided into three groups A, B and C. A
Cadet can earn maximum amount of OLQ marks in each group by means of taking part in the extra-
curricular or co-curricular activity mentioned under each group.
OLQ marks to be assimilated by the faculty-in-charge of the respective fields and finally to be
awarded by the marine professor in charge of the Cadet activities. For any moderation or review if
needed, the decision of the Principal (Head of the Institute) will be final.
OLQ marks will reflect in each semester mark sheet but not add to the overall marks.

4. Marking system.

Sailings
The plane sailing formula has sufficient preciseness for distance within a 24-hour period.
It is optional whether traverse tables or a calculator is used. These days, with low-priced
1 calculators, the latter is recommended. Once the computing method has been chosen, it is
recommended to continue practicing, using that method. It is important to stress the
importance of a well-arranged layout for the sailing computations. This subject area requires
previous knowledge of trigonometry. Exercises of this kind could well be treated in the
subject of mathematics.
The ability to determine courses and distances by Mercator sailing for Rhumb line passages
of greater distance is important for operational level officers of the watch to support voyage
planning and conduct.
At this level, only basic knowledge and the ability to find the initial course and distance by
calculation is required in the area of great-circle sailing. Trainees should be able to plan
great circle sailings using gnomonic charts and the transfer of positions to Mercator charts
In addition to computing sailing problems, the trainee must practice sailings on charts and
ocean plotting sheets.
- defines ‘departure’ and states the relationship to difference of longitude
- defines ‘true course’ and ‘Rhumb line’
- derives the plane sailing formulae
- explains the relationship between departure and difference of longitude in cases
involving a change of latitude, by using mean latitude
- uses the parallel sailing formula:
departure = cosine of latitude
diff. of longitude
- calculates the distance between two positions on the same parallel of latitude
- calculates the difference of longitude for a given distance run along a parallel of latitude
- derives the final position after sailing along a parallel of latitude
- demonstrates the uses the plane sailing formulae
- understands the meaning of, and can derive, mean latitude
- calculates the correct departure to use in a plane sailing problem
- calculates the course and distance between two positions, using the plane sailing formula
- calculates a DR position or an estimated position by using the plane sailing formula, given
compass course and compass error, distance by log, estimated speed, tidal and current
information and leeway
- describes the layout of a traverse table
- derives the information required in a parallel or plane sailing problem, using a traverse
table or calculator
- solves problems of plane sailing, using a calculator
- solves problems of DR and fixing positions, using plotting charts
- states the Mercator sailing formula
- uses the Mercator formula to calculate course and distance between two positions
- uses the Mercator formula to calculate the final position, given the initial position, course
and distance

Celestial sphere and equinoctial system of co-ordinates
Precise definitions are necessary. Extensive use of figures is very helpful. Prepared
transparencies can be used, but it is considered better to draw one's own during a lecture
2
because trainees can follow the construction and are motivated to draw their own figures.
- defines describes the celestial sphere
- explains the apparent annual motion of the sun and the concept of the ecliptic
- defines 'celestial poles', 'celestial meridians', 'equinoctial' and the 'obliquity of the ecliptic'
- explains states that the equinoctial as a fixed reference plane and the direction of the First
Point of Aries as a reference direction (ignoring the effect of precession)
- describes the equinoctial system of co-ordinates and defines sidereal hour angle,
declination and polar distance
- extracts information from the star diagrams in the Nautical Almanac
Hour angle
The trainee should be set exercises as soon as possible. To promote a thorough
understanding, the initial exercises should be illustrated by figures.
- describes the concept of the earth's axial rotation causing change in the hour angle of
bodies
- defines 'Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA)', 'Local Hour Angle (LHA)' and longitude, and
explains their relationship
- states describes the rate of change of GHA of the sun and Aries
- identifies the tabulation of SHA, GHA, and declination (and 'd' and 'v' corrections) in the
Nautical Almanac for all celestial bodies
- determines the geographical position of a body for any given GMT
Daily motion and horizontal system of co-ordinates
This subject area represents the theoretical approach to position computations, with a

celestial body on and off the meridian. It is important to deal with the theoretical background
for the computations in steps. One possible way is to compute latitude by using first the sun
and then Polaris. Next, one may treat the PZX triangle with a celestial body off the meridian
and compute the altitude and direction of the position line.
- defines 'rational horizon', 'zenith' and 'nadir'
- defines 'vertical circle' and 'prime vertical circle'
- defines 'elevated pole' and 'depressed pole'
- proves that the altitude of the elevated pole is equal to the observer's latitude
- defines the observer's upper and lower celestial meridian
- identifies the apparent daily path of all bodies
- defines 'true altitude', 'azimuth', and 'true zenith distance'
- explain the relationship between azimuth , quadrantal bearings and 360 degree notation

- draws figures on the plane of the rational horizon and of the observer's celestial meridian,
using the equidistant projection to illustrate navigational problems and principles

meridian passage of a body to the nearest minute and interpolates for the observer's
longitude when necessary
Napier’s Rules. Great Circle Sailing. Spherical Triangles
- determines the direction of a position line and a position through which it passes
- defines and evaluates the co-latitude, polar distance and zenith distance and uses them as
the sides of the PZX triangle
- solves the PZX triangle to find the calculated zenith distance of the body when it is out of
the meridian
- applies this calculated zeníth distance to the true zenith distance of the body to find the
intercept and the intercept terminal point
Azimuths
Amplitudes
- determines the observed altitude of the sun when the true altitude is zero
- explains the effect of latitude on the accuracy of amplitude observations
- calculates the LAT and LMT of the theoretical and visible rising and setting of the sun
- extracts information

Time and equation of time
The trainee should have a basic understanding of the concept of time, with emphasis on
practical time problems. Time is not treated in textbook T13; an abstract from T14 may be
3
used.
- defines describes the apparent solar day and states the relationship between LHA (sun) and
LAT
- defines the „sidereal day‟ and states that it is a fixed time interval
- explains the reasons for the sun's irregular rate of change of SHA and hence the necessity
to adopt the astronomical mean sun for timekeeping purposes
- defines describes the equation of time (ET) and its components
- determines the ET from the Almanac and its sign of application
- defines GMT, LMT and longitude
- defines zone times and standard time
- explains how to alter the ship's time during a passage with increasing or decreasing
longitude
- demonstrates the use of time signals
- calculates determines the error of a chronometer or watch
Sextant and altitude corrections
The trainee should first practise measuring the altitude of the sun, reading a sextant and
applying index error. Secondly, the trainee should do exercises in correcting a sextant.
Regarding altitude corrections, it is optional whether the Nautical Almanac or an appropriate
nautical table is used. It is recommended that the trainee does sufficient simple exercises in
altitude corrections to master such problems thoroughly.
At low altitudes the correction for refraction is significant. The trainee should understand
this effect and be able to explain it.
- defines 'sextant altitude'
- describes the parts of a sextant
- demonstrate how to retrieve and return a sextant into the storage box
- demonstrates how to read a sextant
- shows how to correct a sextant into which has been introduced one or more of error of
perpendicularity, side error or index error
- demonstrates how to find the index error of the sextant by the horizon
- describes how to find the index error of the sextant by the sun
- uses the sextant for taking vertical and horizontal angles
- describes the purpose of altitude correction
- defines 'visible', 'sensible' and 'rational' horizons
- defines 'observed altitude' and 'true altitude'
- defines 'dip', 'refraction', 'semi-diameter' and 'parallax', and explains their causes
- applies index error
- applies the corrections and explains the factors determining their magnitude
- illustrates the effect of terrestrial refraction on the dip and distance of the sea horizon
- demonstrates the use the altitude correction tables in the Nautical Almanac, including
reference to critical tables, interpolation tables and low-altitude correction tables
- obtains the true zenith distance from the true altitude of the body

Latitude by meridian altitude: The method used to calculate 'time of meridian passage is
optional. The method starting from local hour angle being zero may be preferable because
4 the procedure is the same for all bodies.
The determination of the latitude by meridian altitude is, because of its simplicity, widely
used, and the noon observation of the sun is a daily occurrence on a ship at sea.
- applies the true zenith distance of a body when it is on the observer's meridian to the
declination of the body, to obtain the observer's latitude
- applies these correctly when the declination and latitude have the same name
- applies these correctly when the declination and latitude have different names
- states describes the relationship between the altitude of the elevated pole and the latitude of
the observer
- explains what is meant by a circumpolar star, and the terms upper and lower transit
- finds the value of the polar distance of the body, using its declination
- applies the polar distance to the true altitude of a body at lower transit to find the altitude
of the elevated pole and the latitude
- states describes the direction of the position line through the observer when taking a
meridian altitude
Pole Star observations: Reference will be made, to the fact that the altitude of the celestial
pole is equal to the latitude of the observer. Because Polaris is so close to the celestial pole,
the star describes a small circle with an angular radius of less than 1 °, and the latitude of the
observer can be derived by making small adjustments to the altitude.
- identifies certain major stellar constellations and navigational stars, describes their
movement relative to Polaris and the movement of Polaris with change of latitude
- identifies Polaris
- identifies some major constellations
- describes the motion of the stars about Polaris
- describes the relationship between the altitude of Polaris and the observer's latitude
- deduces from 2.10.4 that the true altitude of Polaris can be used to find the latitude of the
observer
- obtains the corrections, -1o, +ao, +a1, +a2, from Pole Star tables in the 'Nautical Almanac'
and applies them to the altitude of Polaris to find the latitude of the observer
- finds the true azimuth of Polaris from the tables and the direction of the position line
Position lines and positions: The trainee should have a basic knowledge of geometry prior
to starting on position-line problems. It is important to have a thorough understanding of the
idea of position lines. The trainee must learn that the geometric principle of combining
position lines is the same irrespective of which kind of position line is used. It would not be
educationally sound to use too many types of combinations to begin with.
- defines a position
- gives the radar distance off a charted object and plots its position circle on a chart
- plots a position on the chart from simultaneous cross bearings and from bearing and
distance off
- explains the methods used to obtain simultaneous cross bearings with least error
- defines ‘dead reckoning position (DR)’, ‘estimated position (EP)’ and ‘fixed position’

-- the relative direction of the wind
-- the above-water area and profile
-- the draught and trim
-- the ship's fore-and-aft movement
- describe the behavior of a ship moving ahead with a wind from various directions
- state that, as a ship is slowed, a speed is reached at which the wind prevents maintaining
course
- describe the effect of wind when making large turns
- describe the effect of wind on a ship making sternway
- describe the effect of current on the motion of a ship
- state that in rivers and narrow channels the current is usually stronger in the centre of a

situations
- describe the single turn, Williamson turn and Scharnow turn manoeuvres
- explain the situations in which each turn is appropriate
- explain states that the standard manoeuvres are not guaranteed to return a ship into its wake
because of the effects of particular ship characteristics and environmental conditions on the
ship and the person in the water
- lists the sequence of actions to take when a person is seen to fall overboard
- list the actions to take when a man-overboard report is received on the bridge
- Demonstrate the ability to manoeuvre the vessel for the rescue of a person overboard

-- a large increase in turning radius
-- the ship carrying her way longer and responding slowly to changes in engine speed
-- speed falling less during turns
-- squat increasing
-- trim changing, usually by the head for a full hull form
- define states that 'squat' is defined as the reduction of under-keel clearance resulting from
bodily sinkage and change of trim which occurs when a ship moves through the water
- state that squat is considerably reduced by a reduction of speed
- define states that 'blockage factor' as the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the ship to the
cross-sectional area of water in a channel
- state that squat and other shallow-water effects increase as the blockage factor increases
- state that excessive speed in shallow-water can ground a ship in water of sufficient depth to
float it at slow speed
