A Comprehensive Guide to Terrestrial Sphere Geometry and Parallel Sailing

 

QUICK ANSWER: TYPES OF SAILINGS IN NAVIGATION

Parallel Sailing:
• Vessel maintains constant latitude (090°T or 270°T)
• Used to calculate departure from difference in longitude
• Formula: departure = d.long × cos Latitude
• Historical method preferred by sailing ships in the 19th century
• Requires no external forces acting on the vessel

Position Reference Fundamentals:
► Latitude measured 0° to 90° North or South from equator
► Longitude measured 0° to 180° East or West from Prime meridian
► Difference in latitude (d .lat) named toward direction of movement
► Difference in longitude (d.long) always shorter arc or smaller angle
► If d.long exceeds 180°, subtract from 360° and reverse the name

Direction Reference Systems:
• Quadrantal notation: 0° to 90° from North/South to East/West
• Three-figure notation: 000° to 360° clockwise from North
• True course: angle between True Meridian

Lloyd’s Register (LR) informs on new mandatory requirements introduced by the IMO for anchor handling winches under SOLAS Regulation II-1/3-13, as amended by IMO Resolution MSC.532(107), which came into force on 1 January 2026.

As explained, these amendments follow previous updates covering lifting appliances, and are supported by the IMO Guidelines for Anchor Handling Winches (MSC.1/Circ.1662). The new requirements apply specifically to anchor handling winches, defined as “winches used for the purpose of deploying, recovering and repositioning anchors and mooring lines in subsea operations.”

 

Such winches are commonly found on dedicated anchor handling vessels, offshore support ships, and certain tugboats, and may be either purpose-built for anchor handling or integrated into a

West P&I Club informs on the safe loading of Group A bulk cargoes under the IMSBC Code during wet weather, highlighting key procedures and moisture management requirements to ensure the cargo’s Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) is never exceeded.

As explained, the Club has recently seen several instances regarding loading bulk cargoes that are categorized as Group A cargoes under the IMSBC Code during wet weather. Group A cargoes should never be loaded where it has been determined that the moisture content of the cargo exceeds the Transportable Moisture Limit.
