GeoP17, For inspection purpose: 1) Make an RA (Risk Assessment) for navigating in an area of CATZOC U&D and file along with passage plan. 2) Caution notes posted via user maps along the affected route.
Greetings to everyone, So, in order to manually calcualte UKC for any part of the voyage you need the ZOC of this area in order to get the correction from the table. But what do we need to do in case of CATZOC D or U? My company says that if D or U you need to manually calculate UKC. If in restricted waters then we should aquire bathymetric data. However if it is in open sea, it does not specify and such data is impossible to find. So how do I prove that the waters are safe even if we are talking about a 100m or a 200m depth? Apart from common sense, my question here also applies to inspections. Proving that you are not an elephant...
