Lesson 6 Parallel Sailing

1. Parallel sailing is a method of spherical sailing where the course is along a parallel of latitude. The departure distance is calculated as the difference in longitude multiplied by the cosine of the latitude. 2. The document provides examples of parallel sailing calculations. It includes calculating departure, difference in longitude, position of arrival, steaming time, time zones, and estimated time of arrival in both GMT and LMT. 3. The example problem calculates the details of a vessel sailing due east from a starting position at a speed of 13 knots over a distance of 1,347 miles. It solves for the ending longitude, time zones, and estimated arrival times in both GMT and LMT.

Objectives;
You should be able to;

1. Define Parallel Sailing


2. Understand the diagram use in the parallel sailing
calculations
3. Use the formula in Parallel sailing computations.
4. Calculate Dep., Dlo., and Position of Arrival
5. Calculate Steaming time, Zone time and ETA (LMT & GMT)
What is Parallel Sailing?
Spherical sailing in which the Pn

course is along a parallel and L2 Dlo


L1

departure is the product of


Dep.
cosine latitude times the
difference of longitude.
Equator
It is the inter-conversion of λ2
λ1
Dlo and dep., when the
vessel proceeding the course
due East or due West.
Where:
Pn – North pole
A – 1st point
Q
B – 2nd point
AC – Lat. 1
BD – Lat. 2
AB – Dep. or distance between
two points.
CD – dep. or distance between two points
along the equator
Formula
Dep (p) = Dlo * Cos lat.
Dlo = Pn

Example 1 L2 Dlo

Example 2
On Jan, 15, 2016 @ 1230H LMT a vessel sail due Pn
East from latitude 30º 17’ N ; λ 130º 45’ E steaming
L2 Dlo
a distance of 1,347.57 miles at the speed of 13 L1
knots. Find the following.
1. Zone time in at 1st point Dep.
2. GMT of departure
3. Steaming time between the two points
4. Dlo
5. λ2 Equator
6. Position of Arrival λ2
7. GMT of Arrival λ1
8. Zone time of 2nd point
9. LMT of Arrival
Solution
1. Solve for Zone time in at 1st point

λ1 = 130º 45’ E 15º/hr. Note:


= 08h 43m 00s Longitude E = ZT –
Longitude W= ZT +
ZT λ1 = -09h
Note:
2. Solve for GMT of departures To find LMT to GMT
given: @ 12h 30m 00s West (+)
ZT λ1 = -09h --solve from #1 EAST ( - )
GMT ETD = Jan. 15, 2016 @ 03h 30m 00s
To find GMT to LMT
Reverse the sign.
3. Solve for Steaming time between the two points

Distance
Steaming Time (ST) = 5. Solve to λ2
Speed
λ1 =130º 45’ 00” E
1, 347.57 miles dlo= 26 00 30 E
=
13 miles/hrs.
λ2 =156º 45’ 30” E
= 103.66 hrs.
= 4 days 07h 39m 36s
Note:
4. Solve for Dlo
Finding λ2
Dlo = Dep. (p) Same name (+)
Cos latitude
Diff Name ( - )
= 1,347.57 E 1,347.57 miles E
Cos 30º 17’ N 0.86354
= 1,560.5 miles E /60
Dlo = 026º 00’ 30” E
6. Position of Arrival
8. Solve for Zone time of the 2nd point
L2 =30º 17’ N
λ2 = 156º 45’ 30” E 15º/hr.
λ2 =156º 45’ 30” E
= 10h 27m 02s
7. Solve for GMT of Arrival ZT λ2 = - 10hrs.

GMT ETD = Jan. 15, 2016 @ 03h 30m 00s


+ Steaming time = 04 days 07h 39m 36s
GMT of ETA = Jan. 19, 2016 @ 11h 09m 36s

9. Solve for LMT of Arrival


GMT of ETA = Jan. 19, 2016 @ 11h 09m 36s
Zone time in λ2 = (-) +10h
LMT ETA = Jan. 19, 2016 @ 21h 09m 36s
