The Chapter 1 of the Terrestrial Navigation Workbook, Tidal currents and Tides calculations has been revised to reflect the new questions add as part of the US Coast Guards newly released data base. New questions were added to the data base for Tides, Tidal Currents, Duration of Slack, Rotary Currents, Wind Driven Currents and Combination Currents. All added questions are worked-out.

We have developed this series of training manuals to assist the Merchant Mariner in passing the U.S. Coast Guard Licensing Examinations, from Master 500 GT to 2nd Mate Unlimited Upon Oceans.

These manuals have been developed to augment our current textbooks for Mariners and are modular in design incorporating practical exercises and actual U.S. Coast Guard examination questions with all questions worked-out. A description of this manual follows:

Volume II part 1, provides an in-depth understanding of Terrestrial Calculation found US Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Examinations through 2nd Mate Unlimited, subject matter areas includes Tides and Currents, Speed by RPM, SOA, Slip and Fuel Consumption Calculations.
