🚢 MARLINS NUMBERS IN MARITIME COMMUNICATION
🚢 MARLINS NUMBERS IN MARITIME COMMUNICATION ⚓ Can you read the numbers correctly? On board, numbers are more than just figures. They communicate course, position, arrival time and other essential navigational information. A small mistake can lead to a serious misunderstanding. Let’s practise with 5 questions at B2 level! 🧭 TASK 1. Choose the correct answer. 1. The vessel is instructed to steer course 135°. Which option correctly identifies this information? A. A bearing of 135° to another vessel B. A course of 135° C. An ETA of 13:35 D. A position at latitude 13°35′ 2. A report states: “ETA 1645.” In a standard 24-hour time notation, what does this mean? A. A course of 164° B. 16 April at 05:00 C. 16:45 D. 04:45 3. Which statement correctly describes the difference between course and bearing in a maritime report? A. Course is the vessel’s steered direction; bearing is the direction of an object from a reference point. B. Course is the arrival time; bearing is the vessel’s speed. C. Course is latitude; bearing is longitude. D. Course and bearing always mean exactly the same thing. 4. A position is reported as latitude 59°56′ N and longitude 030°18′ E. Which option preserves the reported position exactly? A. 59°56′ S, 030°18′ E B. 59°65′ N, 030°18′ E C. 59°56′ N, 030°81′ E D. 59°56′ N, 030°18′ E 5. Which statements about maritime numerical information are correct? Select ALL that apply. A. Latitude and longitude can be used to specify a vessel’s position. B. ETA is an estimated time of arrival. C. Course is commonly expressed in degrees. D. A bearing always gives the vessel’s speed in knots. 💡 REMEMBER Course — the direction in which a vessel is steered. Bearing — the direction of an object from a reference point. ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) — the expected arrival time. Latitude and longitude — geographical coordinates used to specify a position. Knots — a unit of speed, not direction. 🎯 YOUR TURN! 📌 Try to answer without looking at the explanations above. Check not only whether you know the terminology, but also whether you can interpret numerical information accurately.
