Aids to navigation (Aids to Navigation) are installed to indicate surface or underwater hazards, ensure navigation along fairways and determine the vessel’s position in coastal areas.

Depending on the location of installation, aids to navigation can be coastal or floating.

Coastal ones include beacons, lights, signs, radar stations, as well as acoustic fog alarms.

Lighthouses are special structures from 10 to 50 meters high, equipped with powerful light-optical equipment.

The lights of the lighthouses are lit from sunset to sunrise, the visibility range is at least 10 miles.

Navigation marks– lighthouse-type structures, but of a lighter design. The visibility range of the lights is up to 10 miles.

The gate signs are constructed in the form of lattice towers, on which a wooden gate shield is mounted. The alignments formed by the alignment marks are installed to guide the vessel along the fairway, as well as to determine compass corrections. Floating aids to navigation are installed at anchors near the danger or at the danger itself: signs, buoys and milestones.

Floating warning signs warn boatmasters about the presence of danger, prohibit movement in their direction and indicate a safe route.

The system provides five types of signs

1. Lateral signs. These signs (buoys and stakes) are placed to mark the sides of fairways.

The world's oceans are divided into two regions: region A and region B, which differ in the principle of using red and green colors to mark the sides of the fairway with lateral signs.

Countries that have adopted a red color for navigation aids on the left side of the fairway belong to Region A; countries that have adopted the green color of the navigation aid on the left side of the fairway are in region B. In this case, the direction of the fairway in both regions is considered from the sea. The remaining types of signs are common to regions A and B.

Region A. On the left side (Fig. 17.20) signs are displayed, completely painted in red, the top figures look like a red cylinder, the luminous buoy has a red fire. The nature of the fire is Pr 3s (flashing, period 3s).

On the right side (of the figure) signs are placed, completely painted in green, the top figures look like a green cylinder, the luminous buoy has a green fire. Character of fire – Pr 3s.

In some cases, the direction of the fairway is specifically specified. Numbers or letters can be applied to the bodies of the buoys, and the numbering or designation of the buoys with letters is carried out from the sea.

Where fairways separate To indicate the main (preferred) fairway, modified lateral signs are used.

Main fairway on the right – the color of the signs is red with a wide green horizontal stripe, the top figure is in the shape of a red cylinder, the luminous buoy is red. The nature of the fire is Pr (2+1) 9s (complex group flashing, period 9 seconds).

Main fairway on the left– the color of the signs is green with a wide red horizontal stripe, the top figure is in the shape of a green cone, the luminous buoy is green. Character of fire – Pr (2+1) 9s.

Region B. The lateral marks displayed on the left and right sides of the fairway are illuminated with green and red lights respectively.

Region A

They are used to protect isolated navigational hazards, as well as sunken ships. These signs indicate the direction (on the compass) from which the ship must avoid the danger. They can be placed in one, several or all sectors from danger. For fencing, buoys and poles of black and yellow color are used in various combinations (Fig. 17.28).

The top figures are two black cones placed one above the other. The light of the luminous buoys is white.

Northern buoys and milestones are placed in the northern sector to the N of danger. The signs are black at the top and yellow at the bottom. The top figures are cones with their vertices up. The nature of the fire is F (frequent).

Eastern buoys and milestones are deployed in the eastern sector to E from danger. The signs are black with a wide yellow horizontal stripe. The top figures are cones with their bases together. The nature of the fire is H (3) 10 s (three frequent flashes in a group, period 10 s).

Southern buoys and poles are placed in the southern sector to the S of danger. The signs are yellow at the top and black at the bottom. The top figures are cones with their vertices together. The nature of the fire is H (6) DlPr 15 s (six frequent flashes in a group with a long flash, period 15 s).

Western buoys and milestones are deployed in the western sector to the W of danger.

The signs are yellow with a wide black horizontal stripe. The top figures are cones with their vertices together. The nature of the fire is H (9) 15 s (nine frequent flashes in a group, period 15 s).

Signs protecting individual minor hazards.

They are positioned above the danger and can be bypassed from any side. The signs are painted black with one or more red wide horizontal stripes (Fig. 17.29). The top pieces are two black balls placed one above the other. The luminous buoy is white. Character of fire – Pr (2) 5s.

3. Signs indicating the starting points and axis of the fairway(channel) and the middle of the passage (axial). Signs (buoys and milestones) are painted with red and white vertical stripes (Fig. 17.30). The top figure looks like a red ball. The luminous buoy has a white flame. The nature of the fire is DlPr 6s (long-flash, period 6 seconds).

They are used to mark or fence special areas or objects, for example, cable laying sites, etc.

The signs are painted yellow. The top figures are a yellow oblique cross. The luminous buoy has a yellow fire, the nature of the fire is Pr 5c.

REGISTER OF SHIPPING OF UKRAINE

“The Shipping Register of Ukraine is a national classification society. Formed in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On the improvement of technical. Classification and shipping supervision on sea and river transport" dated June 8, 1998 No. 814.

The Shipping Register of Ukraine operates on the basis of the Regulations on the Shipping Register of Ukraine, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On improving technical, classification and shipping supervision in sea and river transport” dated June 8, 1998 No. 814, as amended by Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 461 dated March 25, 1999

The Shipping Register of Ukraine carries out technical supervision and classifies sea and river merchant vessels in accordance with Art. 22 of the Merchant Shipping Code of Ukraine and Art. Art. 26 and 29 of the Law of Ukraine “On Transport”, carries out, within its competence, supervision of compliance with the requirements of international agreements in which Ukraine participates. The register belongs to the management of the Ministry of Transport and operates as a state enterprise.

The Register includes:

Main department located in Kyiv;

Territorial structural divisions.

The main objectives of the Register are:

Classification of sea and river vessels

Classification of inland water basins according to vessel navigation conditions, establishment;

Publication of instructions, information and explanatory materials on issues of technical supervision, measurement and accounting of ships, shipbuilding and shipping;

Within the limits of its competence, it issues certificates for ships that carry out foreign voyages, as provided for in international treaties on merchant shipping issues.

VESSEL CLASS, CLASS SYMBOL.

If a ship is built in accordance with the requirements of the Register rules, then it may be assigned a Register class, determined by the purpose, navigation area, hull design and seaworthiness of the ship. The Register may also assign, renew or restore a class to a vessel in service by issuing a Classification Certificate. The class of the vessel is assigned or renewed for 4 years. The main symbol of the class of a ship built in accordance with the Rules and under the supervision of the Register consists of the sign O and the signs KM or K placed in front of it.

The letter K stands for body, M stands for mechanisms.

KM O for self-propelled vessels, K O - for non-self-propelled vessels.

The main symbol of the class of a ship built without the supervision of the Register.

1. If the ship and its mechanical installation were built according to the rules and under the supervision of another classification authority, and then it is assigned a Register class, then the class symbol consists of the characters:

KM - for self-propelled vessels and K - for non-self-propelled vessels.

2. If the ship and its mechanical installation were built without supervision

classification body recognized by the Register or without any supervision at all

classification body, and then the ship is assigned a Register class, then

the class symbol consists of the following characters: (КМ) - for self-propelled vessels

(K) - for non-self-propelled vessels.

Icebreakers - vessels intended for laying a channel in solid ice, guiding, breaking, towing ships and performing rescue operations in ice and meeting the requirements of the Rules are added to the main class symbol by one of the following signs: LL1, LL2, LL3, LL4.

The marks are applied depending on the thickness of the continuous ice field in which the icebreaker is moving and the total power on the propellers.

Ice force signs for ships.

If the ship has ice forces, in accordance with the requirements of the Register, then, depending on the applied strengthening category, one of the following signs is added to the main one:

ULA, UL, L1, L2, L3. Ice reinforcements of the categories are shown in the table.

Division marks.

For ships whose unsinkability is ensured when one, two or three adjacent compartments are flooded, one of the signs is placed on the right behind the ice strengthening category sign: 1, 2, 3.

Navigation area restrictions signs.

If the vessel is intended for navigation in a limited area or for mixed (river-sea) navigation, then the signs I, II, II SP or which have the following meanings are added to the main class symbol:

I - navigation in the open seas with a distance from the place of refuge of up to 200 miles and with a permissible distance between places of refuge of up to 400 miles, as well as navigation in closed seas.

II – navigation in open seas with a distance from the place of refuge up to 50 miles and with a distance of refuge up to 100 miles and navigation in closed seas within the boundaries established by the Register.

II SP - navigation on inland waterways, as well as in sea areas at waves of no more than 6 points and at a distance from the place of refuge: in the open seas up to 50 miles and with a distance between places of refuge up to 100 miles.

In closed seas up to 100 miles and with a distance between places of refuge up to 200 miles.

III – coastal, roadstead and port navigation within the boundaries established by the Register.

Automation signs.

The degree of automation of the vessel is indicated by the following signs:

A1 - a ship, with the exception of a passenger ship, the scope of automation of the mechanical installation of which allows operation without a watch in the engine rooms and in the central control room (CPU).

A2 – the ship has automation that allows its operation without a watch in the engine rooms, but with a watch in the control room.

AZ – vessel with the help of main mechanisms 1500 kW (2040) hp. automation of which allows operation without a watch in the machine rooms.

Index, name and meaning of the sign (fire)	Type of signal board	Color, character and relative position of lights
Passing and overtaking are prohibited! To designate a site ship's course, where overtaking and divergence ships prohibited.
Divergence and overtaking of trains is prohibited! To designate a section of the shipping lane where overtaking and passing of convoys and large vessels over 120 m in length are prohibited.
Don't drop anchor! To designate the underwater passage area where it is prohibited to drop anchors, lower chains, drags, or lots. Note: Signs are established by the owners of structures in agreement with the authorities regulating shipping.
Don't create disturbances! To designate areas of the waterway where it is prohibited to create disturbances. Note:
Movement of small floating funds are prohibited! To designate an area where traffic is prohibited on a ship's course undersized ships (in roadsteads, in approach channels, at berths, etc.).
Traffic light To regulate the movement of ships in the areas of locks, barrier gates, ferry cable crossings and lifting navigation spans of bridges.
2. Warning and instructional signs
Speed ​​limited! To designate sections of the shipping route where the speed of movement of displacement vessels is limited (on canals, in outports, roadstead waters, etc.). The numbers show the maximum permissible speed (km/h).
Attention! To indicate a section of a shipping route where special care must be taken.
Crossing the shipping channel! To mark places where ships and ferry crossings cross the shipping channel. Note: Signs are installed by the owners of structures in agreement with the authorities regulating shipping.
Observe the above-water clearance! To mark overwater and bridge crossings. The figure shows the minimum clearance height of the overwater crossing, the height of the under-bridge navigable clearance of the navigable span of the bridge from the calculated high navigable water level (m).
3. Directional signs
Place of vessel turnover To indicate the area where it is safest to make turns of the vessel.
Shipping inspection post To designate the locations of shipping inspection units. Note: The signs are installed by the post owners.
Stop To indicate the useful length of the lock chambers and the boundaries of the mooring (stopping) zone for ships in the approach channels to the locks. The stop sign should be made in the form of a vertical red stripe 0.2-0.4 m wide, at least 1.5 m long, applied on the parapets and (or) walls of the chambers and berthing structures of the locks. Notes: 1. The use of signal boards with the inscription “Stop” is allowed. 2. The inscription “Stop” can be painted on the walls next to the red stripe.

The minimum passage height of a surface crossing is a value equal to the difference between the crossing height and the established margin, which is determined based on the conditions of the maximum sag of the wires and the maximum navigable water level.

Under-bridge navigation clearance - a rectangular outline of the space in the navigable span of a bridge within the navigation passage (in a section perpendicular to the axis of the navigation passage), free from protruding elements of the bridge structure and devices located on it, including navigational signs.

Notes

1. Signs are installed by the owners of structures in agreement with the authorities regulating shipping.

2. On a bridge, signs are installed on a support or on a superstructure; in this case, it is allowed to use signs without lights. Size limitation signs (additional vertical safety markings) must comply with the requirements of the standard.

Raid signs

Raid indicator (raid sign) to indicate the border of the raid.

Notes

1. It is allowed to install additional shields, where the arrow indicates the direction of the raid, and the numbers indicate the length of the raid (m).

2. On roadsteads of non-public use, signs are installed by the owners of roadsteads in agreement with the authorities regulating shipping.

Coastal navigational marks depending on their purpose, they are divided into two groups: designations of the position of the navigation channel and information .

To shore signs indicating the position of the navigation channel These include gate, pass, way, spring, “Landmark” signs, bridge span signs and “Tracking light”.

Coastal markers consist of a support pillar and a shield of a certain shape and color mounted on it. For these signs, signal boards of five types are used: rectangular, square, trapezoidal, round and combined. The shape of the shield depends on the purpose of the coastal mark.

The dimensions of signal boards, depending on the range of the sign, are regulated by the State Standard. The height of shore signs is determined by a special calculation taking into account the relief of the shoreline.

On inland waterways, axial (linear), slot and edge gates are used.

Axial alignment(Fig. 6.1) consists of two signs - front and rear, identical in shape, located along the axis of the navigation channel.

Rice. 6.1. Layout of axial sections on the river section:

1 – axis of the navigation channel; 2 – sections on a light background; 3 – sections on a dark background

On axial alignment signs, four types of signal boards are used: square (Fig. 6.2, a), rectangular (Fig. 6.2, b), trapezoidal (Fig. 6.2, c) and combined (Fig. 6.2, d - the top board is square, located vertically, and the lower one is trapezoidal, located obliquely to the vertical).

Rice. 6.2. Axial alignments for light (left) and dark (right) terrain backgrounds

(the part of the sign area painted red is conventionally indicated by shading)

The color of signal boards is chosen depending on the background of the surrounding area. If the background is light, the shields are painted red with a white or black vertical stripe in the middle, and if the background is dark - white with a black vertical stripe, and if they are located against the sky - then black.

At night, there is a red, white or yellow signal light on the axial direction signs of the right bank, and green, white or yellow on the left bank signs. In this case, the character (mode) of the light of the front sign is constant, and that of the rear sign is flashing or constant.

IN

Rice. 6.3. Orientation along the axial alignment:

a – the vessel is in the target zone; b – the vessel left the target zone; 1 – axis of the navigation channel; 2 – rear target sign; 3 – front target sign; 4 – shore; 5 – isobath of guaranteed depth; 6 – sighting curves limiting the target area; 7 – alignment axis; 8 – imaginary vertical passing through the target lights; 9 – rear sign light; 10 – front sign light

In some cases, when there is a large concentration of extraneous lights, both on the front and rear signs, permanent lights of increased visibility are used: pulsating or extended lights of red and green colors.

Axial alignment serves to indicate the axis of the ship's passage. The principle of its operation is as follows (Fig. 6.3). Two guidance marks or lights - front and rear, located on the shore at some distance from each other, form a guidance line, the extension of which towards the water space must coincide with the position of the axis of the navigation channel. A sign that a vessel is on the leading line will be the location of the front and rear marks or lights on the same vertical (Fig. 6.3, a). Deviation of the relative position of the front and rear signs or lights from the vertical indicates that the vessel is deviating away from the axis of the navigation channel and leaving the channel area (Fig. 6.3, b). When the vessel leaves the guidance zone, the navigator must change course to return to this zone.

Slotted gate consists of three signs - two forward and one rear and serves to indicate the position of the navigation channel and its edges (Fig. 6.4).

The two front signs are installed on a line perpendicular to the axis of the target and are located at the same distance from it. The rear sign is installed on the axis of the alignment, which must coincide with the axis of the navigation channel.

Signal boards for slotted gate signs are of one type - rectangular in shape. They are painted depending on the background of the surrounding area: on a light background - red with a white or black vertical stripe in the middle (Fig. 6.4, a), on a dark background - white with a black vertical stripe (Fig. 6.4, b).

White or yellow signal lights are used on slotted signs, constant lights are used on front signs, and flashing lights are used on rear signs. If there are extraneous lights in the area where the slotted section is located, red signal lights are used on signs installed on the right bank; green lights are used on the left bank. In this case, the front lights are constant, and the rear lights are flashing.

Rice. 6.4. Layout of the slotted section on the section of the waterway: 1 – axis of the navigation channel; 2 – alignment axis; 3 – alignment signs; a – slotted door for a light background; b – slotted gate for a dark background

The principle of operation of the slot gate is shown in Fig. 6.5. When the vessel moves along the axis of the navigation channel (Fig. 6.5, a), the rear sign (light) is visible exactly in the middle of the distance between the front signs (lights). As the vessel deviates from the axis of the navigation channel, the symmetry of the location of the signs is disrupted (Fig. 6.5, b), while the clearance between the rear and front signs of the edge to which the ship is approaching is reduced.

If the ship goes beyond the boundary of the target zone (Fig. 6.5, c), the gap between the shields of the rear and one of the front signs disappears.

The navigator must not allow the vessel to leave the specified zone, since this does not ensure traffic safety.

Slotted sections are used mainly in reservoirs and estuaries of large rivers.

Rice. 6.5. Orientation along the slot opening:

a – vessel on the alignment axis; b – the vessel deviated from the alignment axis; in - the ship leftfrom the target area; 1 – axis of the navigation channel; 2 – isobath of guaranteed depth; 3 – alignment axis; 4 – rear sign; 5 – front sign; 6 – sighting curves, forming the target zone

Edge flap intended to indicate one edge of the navigation channel. The target consists of two characters - the front one and the higher back one. The alignment axis intersects the vertical edge of the rear sign facing the fenced edge of the navigation channel. The front sign is slightly shifted from this axis towards the same edge. To indicate both edges of the navigation channel, two edge alignments are installed - left and right (Fig. 6.6).

The signal board of the front edge sign has a rectangular shape, and the rear one has the shape of a rectangular trapezoid. Signs are painted white on a dark background, and red on a light background. Lights - green on the left edge, front constant, rear double-flashing; on the right edge there are red ones, the front is constant, the rear is double-flashing.

P

Rice. 6.6. Edge section:

1 – flow direction; 2 – left edge of the navigation channel; 3 – right edgenavigation; 4 – leading signs to indicate two edges of the navigation channel

When the vessel is on the axis of the navigation channel, the navigator sees signs (lights) of the right and left directions, located symmetrically. When the vessel deviates from the axis of the navigation channel, the symmetrical arrangement of signs visible to the navigator is disrupted. The gap between the vertical edges of the shields of the front and rear signs of the edge towards which the ship has veered will be less than the gap between the vertical edges of the shields fencing the other edge. The disappearance of the gap between the boards of signs of the edge towards which the vessel has deviated (touching the vertical edges of the boards), or the location of the lights on the same vertical means that the vessel has left the guidance area.

Rice. 6.7. Types of signal boards for pass signs:

a – square; b – rectangular; c – combined

Passage signs(Fig. 6.7) are coastal navigation signs to indicate the direction of a ship's passage moving (transferring) from one shore to another, as well as to indicate the beginning and end of a section with a deep (navigable) shore.

A pass sign consists of a support pillar and a signal board of a certain shape mounted on it. There are three types of shields for pass signs: square (Fig. 6.7, a), rectangular (Fig. 6.7, b) and combined (Fig. 6.7, c). Signs located on a light background of the area are painted red, and on a dark background – white.

Rice. 6.8. Running signs

Running signs(Fig. 6.8) are shore signs that indicate that the shipping channel is located along the deep shore on which they are installed. They consist of a pillar - a support and a signal board - a rhombus (Fig. 6.8, a), or a shield in the form of an elongated rhombus with sharp corners cut off (Fig. 6.8, b). To ensure visibility from all directions, shields are usually made three-dimensional. This is achieved through a cross-shaped connection of two flat shields (diamonds) or by connecting two shields (elongated rhombuses) in plan at an angle of 90.

The color of the shield and the pillar of the navigation sign, in contrast to the leading and pass signs, depends on the name of the bank on which it is installed. On the right bank the color is red, on the left bank it is white. To create a contrast with the background of the area, the supports of the running signs are painted with alternating stripes of red and white on the right bank and white and black on the left bank.

Rice. 6.9. Spring signs

The traffic signs on the right bank have red flashing lights, and the signs on the left bank have green flashing lights.

Spring signs(Fig. 6.9) are installed to indicate banks flooded during high water, islands, capes protruding into the riverbed, etc. They do not directly indicate the axis or edge of the channel and serve to determine the position of the channel together with other signs.

The spring sign is a signal figure mounted on a support pillar, consisting of two cross-shaped shields, shaped like a circle on the right bank (Fig. 6.9, a) and a trapezoid on the left bank (Fig. 6.9, b). The signal figure can also be made of three planes intersecting at an angle of 120 in plan.

The shields of spring signs on the right bank are painted red, and on the left – white. The sign supports are painted the same color as the shields.

At night, the signs on the right bank have permanent red lights, and the signs on the left bank have permanent green lights.

Sign« Reference point"(Fig. 6.10) is used on rivers and reservoirs to designate characteristic banks, capes, islands and other noticeable places on the coastline. They do not directly indicate the position of the navigation channel, but allow navigators to determine it indirectly (by the position of the vessel relative to the Landmark sign).

By design, signs are made in the form of pillars with two shields (Fig. 6.10, a) and three or tetrahedral prisms and pyramids (Fig. 6.10, b). Two types of signal boards are used: rectangular and trapezoidal.

Rice. 6.10. Landmark signs:

a – in the form of single pillars with signal boards;

b – in the form of three and tetrahedral prisms and pyramids

Signboards installed on the right bank are painted with five alternating horizontal stripes of red and white, and on the left bank - black and white, with the top stripe being red or black, respectively.

The "Landmark" signs on the right bank have red, white or yellow double-flash lights, and the signs on the left bank have green, white or yellow double-flash lights.

"Lighting Light" Signs(Fig. 6.11, a) serve to mark the banks of the shipping canal at night. The shape of signs carrying directional lights is not regulated. Structurally, the sign is a support, at the top of which there is a lantern with two lenses in the side walls. An electric lamp is placed in the lantern. Through the lenses of the side walls, signal lights shine along the bank of the canal. On the right bank there are red constant or flashing lights, on the left bank there are green constant or flashing lights.

Identification marks(Fig. 6.11, b) serve to mark the entrance to a canal, port, outport, shelter from the side of a lake or reservoir.

Rice. 6.11. Sign "Tracking light" (a) and identification marks (b)

Signs are constructed in the form of towers of various architectures and installed on the heads of dams, piers and breakwaters. They are painted in a color that provides the necessary contrast with the surrounding background of the area.

At the tops of the identification signs, permanent or flashing all-round signal lights are installed: green on the left bank signs and red on the right bank signs.

On the sides of the markings facing the shipping channel, a permanent light of the same color as on their tops may be installed.

Lighthouse(marine lighthouse) is a means of navigation equipment for the seas and large lakes, which is a day and night landmark. The lighthouse is a tower on top of which equipment for sending light signals is placed. Lighthouses serve to guide navigators using tools and instruments. The height of the beacon is chosen such that the required range of visibility is ensured. It reaches 50 meters or more. The lighthouse can be equipped with a sound alarm to give signals during fog, as well as equipment for sending radio signals. The view of the lighthouse is shown in Fig. 6.12.

Each lighthouse has its own distinctive shape, color and fire characteristics. Descriptions of lighthouses and their geographical coordinates are given in the corresponding directions and on maps.

Rice. 6.13. Navigation sign

Luminous marine navigation sign(luminous sign) - a means of navigation equipment for the seas and large lakes, which is a day and night landmark of a special construction, having a light-optical device with a white light visibility range of up to 10 miles. This is a structure of the same type as the lighthouse, but of lighter construction (Fig. 6.13). The shape of navigational signs can be different; they are constructed from stone, brick, metal, wood, etc. The sign may have distinctive shields and top figures.
