| Topic | Sub-topic |
| 1- "Voyage planning" advanced. |
Voyage planning and navigation for all conditions by acceptable methods of plotting ocean tracks, taking into account, e.g.: .1 restricted waters .2 meteorological conditions .3 ice .4 restricted visibility .5 traffic separation schemes .6 vessel traffic service (VTS) areas .7 areas of extensive tidal effects Routeing in accordance with the General Provisions on Ships’ Routeing Reporting in accordance with the General principles for Ship Reporting Systems and with VTS procedures The development of this topic complies with column 2, Knowledge, Understanding and Sufficiency, of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010, of table AII/2. |
| 2- Use of navigation equipment and systems, including ECDIS and its related systems, to facilitate decision-making and maintain the safety of navigation. | Advanced naval kinematics An appreciation of system errors and thorough understanding of the operational aspects of navigational systems Blind pilotage planning Evaluation of navigational information derived from all sources, including radar and ARPA, in order to make and implement command decisions for collision avoidance and for directing the safe navigation of the ship The interrelationship and optimumuse of all navigational data available for conducting navigation ECDIS and associated navigation systems: Management of operational procedures, system files and data, including: .1 manage procurement, licensing and updating of chart data and system software to conform to established procedures .2 system and information updating, including the ability to update ECDIS system version in accordance with vendor’s product development .3 create and maintain system configuration and backup files .4 create and maintain log files in accordance with established procedures .5 create and maintain route plan files in accordance with established procedures .6 use ECDIS log-book and track history functions for inspection of system functions, alarm settings and user responses Use ECDIS playback functionality for passage review, route planning and review of system functions The development of this topic complies with column 2, Knowledge, Understanding and Sufficiency, of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010, of table AII/2. |
| 3- Advanced methodology for the determination of the position and execution of navigation through celestial, terrestrial observations and the use of electronic aids to navigation. | Position determination in all conditions: .1 by celestial observations .2 by terrestrial observations, including the ability to use appropriate charts, notices to mariners and other publications to assess the accuracy of the resulting position fix .3 using modern electronic navigational aids, with specific knowledge of their operating principles, limitations, sources of error, detection of misrepresentation of information and methods of correction to obtain accurate position fixing The development of this topic complies with column 2, Knowledge, Understanding and Sufficiency, of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010, of table AII/2. |
| 4- Compass compensation. | Ability to determine and allow for errors of the magnetic and gyro-compasses Knowledge of the principles of magnetic and gyro-compasses An understanding of systems under the control of the master gyro and aknowledge of the operation and care of the main types of gyro-compass The development of this topic complies with column 2, Knowledge, Understanding and Sufficiency, of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010, of table AII/2. |
| 5- Establish watchkeeping arrangements and procedures. Leadership and management qualities | Thorough knowledge of the content, application and intent of the Principles to be observed in keeping a navigational watch Ability to apply task and workload management, including : .1 planning and co-ordination .2 personnel assignment .3 time and resource constraints .4 prioritization Knowledge and ability to apply effective resource management: .1 allocation, assignment, and prioritization of resources .2 effective communication on board and ashore .3 decisions reflect consideration of team experiences .4 assertiveness and leadership, including motivation .5 obtaining and maintaining situation awareness The development of this topic complies with column 2, Knowledge, Understanding and Sufficiency, of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010, of table AII/2. |
