I just want to share this one. These publications are really a big help to me. How to use effectively radar effectively, optimizing your skills in position fixing and bridge resource management to mention just a few. I strongly recommend these to all aspiring merchant navy officers. I brought four editions onboard to share – so worth bringing it in my luggage!

Ever since I started my maritime profession, The Navigator has been a part of it, with very interesting articles and a lot of helpful tips. "We only stop growing if we stop learning".

Technology is a really big help, not just in the maritime industry, but also in other fields. I think it is something that will make our jobs easier, better and safer and it’s up to us seafarers to make ourselves competitively viable, available and highly determined to thrive in a fast-changing, technologyinclined maritime world. The only permanent thing in this world is change, and if you don’t want to be left out, then you must keep up and do something about it. I make sure I’m updated with my training and, of course, by reading maritime magazines to know what’s new and what’s already obsolete.
Rodolfo Robles III, Second Officer, M/V Hokuetsu Century

Hi there from MV Arsinoe. Our copy of your Navigator is just black and white – but it will suffice to learn something new about world maritime news!
