As paper navigational charts are replaced by vector images on computer screens, magnetic compasses enhanced by digital flux gate technology, and chronometers joined by atomic clocks, the demand has been mounting for an extensive update to the classic reference known worldwide as Dutton's. To meet the varied needs of today's recreational, naval, and commercial navigators the Naval Institute introduces this new edition of a guide that has remained the seafarers' choice for more than three-quarters of a century. It blends the traditional navigation techniques first compiled by Benjamin Dutton in 1926 with technological marvels of the twenty-first century to authoritatively cover all phases of surface navigation. For example, while the book acknowledges that many navigators still peer into the skies through sextant telescopes, it also helps them take full advantage of man-made Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites.
Valued as both an indispensable quick reference and a comprehensive text, Dutton's makes accessible such foreboding subjects as spherical trigonometry through the use of step-by-step explanations and examples that encourage practical use. To insure accuracy and relevancy, a board of experts made up of naval and Coast Guard officers, merchant mariners, accredited harbor pilots, and sea-service academy professors, has carefully reviewed this fifteenth edition. The result is an unparalleled treatment of the art and science of nautical navigation that both amateur and veteran navigators will use to safely navigate the waters of the world. 132 illustrations.
Contains the most up-to-date and reliable presentation in print of the principles and practice of piloting, dead reckoning, celestial navigation and radio navigation. Its forty one chapters provides thorough coverage of every topic required for a firm foundation in piloting and dead reckoning. Its coverage of celestial navigation has always been one of its outstanding features; the new edition continues, and improves upon that tradition. The book is beautifully done in two-color art work. Duttons is a true reference work as well as a text on navigation. It is surpassed only by The American Practical Navigator (HO-9) in total comprehensiveness. 15th Ed. HC, 2004, 464 pages. List Price $59.95 SW 3.0 lbs.

With global warming, the clearance of the Northwest Passage and the rising demands for new energy resources, the sovereignty of Canadian and other national land claims in the Arctic north is coming into question by those wishing to control access to this region. The present paper examines issues involving emerging landmasses, maritime rights, strategic control and navigation, perhaps the most important variable, and the consequences in terms of commercial economies and geopolitical impacts. We consider many variables such as the 1982 Falkland Islands war as a demonstrative example that may have translatable impact in future years. Our purpose in this paper is to raise awareness of impending geopolitical activities that are inevitable during the 21st century as the Arctic pack ice retreats.
The Coast Guard amends its regulations to exclude public vessels owned, leased, or operated by the U.S. Government from certain requirements for navigational charts and publications. The amendments allow public vessels to use electronic charting and navigation systems providing reliable navigation information displays. Amending these regulations provides a platform for the Coast Guard to acquire more information and evaluate these systems as alternatives leading towards the goal of a fully integrated electronic charting and navigation technology into the commercial sector. The Coast Guard is currently preparing an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the same regulations allowing commercial vessels to use electronic charting systems.
This rulemaking would exclude public vessels from the chart and publication requirements in 33 CFR 164.11, 33 CFR 164.30, and 33 CFR 164.33. This exclusion would only apply to public vessels equipped with an electronic charting and navigation system that meets the standards approved by the Federal agency exercising operational control of the vessel.
The United States based the navigation and safety regulations found in Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations on Chapter 5 of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). SOLAS exempts ships of war from its safety of navigation provisions. Nevertheless, at the time the Coast Guard drafted the existing navigation safety regulations, exemptions for U.S. warships or other vessels being utilized in exclusive, noncommercial government service were not addressed. Further chart carriage requirements were not considered because electronic charting did not exist and no alternatives to paper documents were contemplated.
The intent of the rule is to enable Federal agencies to utilize electronic charting and navigation systems as an alternative to requiring paper nautical charts and publications, when the public vessel is equipped with an electronic system and backup.
The Coast Guard realizes that electronic charting and navigation systems are increasingly predominant in the maritime industry. As a result, commercial shipping industries have expressed their desire to incorporate this new technology into their operations.
Currently, the Coast Guard, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) are working together to develop electronic chart portfolios and evaluate how these charts interrelate with commercially available electronic charting and navigation systems. The Coast Guard is also evaluating commercially available electronic charting and navigation systems with the expectation that it may assist in establishing interim regulatory standards for electronic charting pending the wider availability of IMO and International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) compliant electronic charts. This rule allows the Coast Guard to gather and analyze operational data related to using these systems as installed on a variety of vessels.
