A shipping company is an organization that transports goods and passengers on ships. It can be either a public or a private company. Shipping companies provide services for the transport of goods and passengers, as well as rent and manage ships. They may also engage in ship chartering, cargo insurance, logistics and other activities related to shipping. Today we will tell you about the three largest shipping companies in the world.

Maersk Line

Maersk Group is a Danish shipping group that is engaged in maritime freight transport. The group was founded in 1989 and today is one of the largest shipping companies in the world. The parent company of the group is Maersk Line, which was established in 1899.

Maersk Line has a fleet of over 600 vessels that transport a variety of cargo including containers, general cargo and other types of cargo. The company has its own ports and terminals around the world, which allows it to deliver cargo anywhere in the world.

Navigation Systems and Applications https://www.americanpride.org/navigation-systems-and-applications/ Mon, 07 Aug 2023 12:19:08 +0000 https://www.americanpride.org/?p=1738 The ship’s navigation system is a set of devices and software that help the ship navigate in space and determine its position. It includes various sensors such as GPS, GLONASS, LAG (Laser Log), LAB (Laser Altibatometer), Echo Sounder, Sonar, etc., as well as data processing and analysis software. The ship’s navigation system allows the captain and crew of the ship to accurately determine their position, speed, heading and depth. This is especially important when navigating in difficult conditions such as fog, storms or other obstacles at sea.

The ship’s navigation system is a set of devices and software that help the ship navigate in space and determine its position. It includes various sensors such as GPS, GLONASS, LAG (Laser Log), LAB (Laser Altibatometer), Echo Sounder, Sonar, etc., as well as data processing and analysis software. The ship’s navigation system allows the captain and crew of the ship to accurately determine their position, speed, heading and depth. This is especially important when navigating in difficult conditions such as fog, storms or other obstacles at sea. Navigation systems by type are divided into:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system that allows ships to determine their position and heading with high accuracy. GPS is used in many countries around the world and is one of the most common navigation systems on ships.

The Laser Positioning System (LPS) is a system based on the use of laser beams to determine the position of a ship. It is used on large ships and can be more accurate than GPS.

Radar system (RADAR) is a radar navigation system that uses radio waves to determine the distance to objects at sea. RADAR can be used to determine the speed and direction of a ship, as well as to detect other ships and obstacles at sea.

A hydroacoustic system (SAS) is a navigation system based on the use of sound waves that bounce off the seabed and other objects. SAS can be used to measure the depth of the sea, determine the direction of movement and detect other objects on the seabed.

Garmin Navigation Devices and Apps

Garmin is a company that manufactures various navigation devices and systems, including GPS navigators, echo sounders, radars, action cameras and other devices for various activities. Here are some of the popular navigation systems and apps from Garmin:

Garmin ECHOMAP ULTRA. This is a powerful fish finder with a large screen and a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. It has many features for fishermen and sea fishing enthusiasts, including map display, track and waypoint recording, and wireless sensor support.

One of the main features of ECHOMAP ULTRA is its support for CHIRP technology, which allows you to more accurately determine the depth and structure of the bottom. It also has the ability to record videos and photos, which can be useful for capturing interesting moments while fishing or while traveling.

Garmin RIVET. Garmin RIVET is a mobile app designed to track your location and record routes on a map. The application is available for Android and iOS platforms and can be used on smartphones or tablets.

With Garmin RIVET, you can create routes, add waypoints, and save tracks. The app also supports a GPS tracking feature that allows you to track your location in real time.

In addition, the Garmin RIVET has the ability to connect to a Garmin GPS system for more accurate location information.

Garmin GPSMAP 585 Plus. The Garmin GPSMAP 585 Plus is one of the most popular and reliable marine GPS systems due to its high accuracy, large screen and many features. This system features a bright and clear 5″ screen with a resolution of 240 x 160 pixels, making it ideal for use on open decks.

In addition, the Garmin GPSMAP 585 Plus has many advanced features such as a built-in compass and barometer, making it ideal for navigating the sea. Also, this system has the ability to connect to the Internet, which allows you to receive up-to-date information about the weather and maps.

The Garmin GPSMAP 585 Plus does not support as many file formats as we would like. In some cases, one has to resort to using an online file converter such as MiConv. For example, to convert KML files. Overall, though, the Garmin GPSMAP 585 Plus is an excellent marine navigation system and one of the best options on the market.

Garmin MARINA is software designed to control boat systems. It allows you to track the location of the vessel, set up routes, control the radio station and navigation lights.

Garmin MARINA software is available for Android and iOS devices. It has a simple and intuitive interface that allows you to quickly configure all the necessary settings.

GARMIN MARINA also allows you to create routes using the GPS system, making navigation on the water more accurate and convenient. In addition, the software supports an Internet connection, which makes it possible to receive up-to-date information on weather conditions and other important data.

In addition to Garmin, we also recommend paying attention to the products of such companies as Lowrance, Raymarine, Simrad, Furuno, Furunadu. These companies also produce quality navigation systems and equipment.

A new page in the submarine scandal: France returns ambassador to Australia with two assignments https://www.americanpride.org/a-new-page-in-the-submarine-scandal-france-returns-ambassador-to-australia-with-two-assignments/ Sun, 27 Feb 2022 15:23:59 +0000 http://bk-ninja.com/rubik/?p=42 French ambassador to be returned to Australia

The French Foreign Ministry says it has completely reconsidered its relations with Australia after the international submarine scandal. Paris even returned its ambassador to Canberra, but with two assignments.

This statement was made by Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian at a parliamentary hearing.

The French ambassador will return to Canberra with two missions – to help redefine the terms of our relationship with Australia in the future and to protect our interests,
– Le Drian said.

Paris has taken into account the submarine situation and stressed that this will not affect its determination to be present in the Pacific.
Specific return date unknown

The French government hopes that in time it will be possible to compensate for the damage caused by the cancellation of the agreement.
Note! It is still unknown when the French ambassador will return to Australia, because the head of the Foreign Ministry has not named a specific date.

The main thing about the massive submarine scandal

  • The US, Australia and Britain have announced the creation of a new defense alliance, AUKUS.
  • The purpose of the creation is cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region.
  • Thus Australia will get 8 submarines.
  • Canberra decided to unilaterally terminate the contract with Paris.
  • According to this agreement, France was to build 12 submarines. The contract was worth 56 billion euros.
  • Because of this, France recalled the ambassadors from Australia and the United States.
