Distances Between Ports
The Distances Between Ports (Pub 151) is a must for anyone in charge of an ocean-going vessel. It details every port and junction globally, giving details of departure and arrival ports and the distances between points. This allows mariners to accurately plot their course, estimate arrival times and get to their destination safely.
Publication 151 contains vital information organized in an easy-to-read format. Distances are arranged in a tabulated form and arranged alphabetically. The distances provided represent the shortest navigable routes. In some cases, mariners will need to take a longer route due to natural causes such as currents, ice flow and dangers to navigation. Sometimes traffic separation schemes have been put in place to avoid collisions, and the distances may be slightly longer than noted.
