Radar provides real-time detection of physical objects—from land and buoys to small vessels—even when they aren’t equipped with AIS transponders. However, using radar effectively requires more than basic familiarity.

MITAGS’ Advanced Radar Navigation Seminar gives experienced mariners the opportunity to improve radar interpretation and situational awareness while exploring advanced techniques and capabilities.

Strengthen the radar skills your crew relies on. Learn more:

Bigger vessel, better view? Not necessarily.

Large vessels can have significant blind spots caused by their size, structure and cargo. Bridge teams use proper lookouts, radar and other navigation equipment to help maintain awareness of what is happening around the vessel.
