Description détaillée
Master the Tides of Northern Europe’s Most Complex Waters
This authoritative tidal stream atlas delivers the precise current data maritime professionals need to navigate the challenging waters between Scotland and Norway. Covering the Orkney and Shetland Islands with unmatched detail, it provides hourly tidal stream information that transforms voyage planning from guesswork into science.
Engineered for Professional Maritime Operations
Developed specifically for commercial shipping, fishing fleets, and offshore energy operations, this atlas offers more than just tidal predictions - it provides a complete operational picture. The 4th edition incorporates decades of hydrographic data to deliver direction and velocity information for mean, neap, and spring tides, all presented in intuitive visual formats that bridge crews can interpret at a glance.
Precision Data for Critical Decision Making
The publication’s graduated arrows show tidal rates in tenths of knots, allowing for exact calculations of current effects on vessel speed and fuel consumption. A specialized calculation diagram enables operators to determine tidal flow for any specific date, while the comprehensive coverage - from 58°30'N to 61°00'N latitude and 4°00'W to 0°00'E longitude - ensures complete situational awareness across the entire operational area.
Built for the Demands of Northern European Waters
Weighing 1.9 kg and presented in a durable paperback format, this atlas is designed to withstand the rigors of bridge use while remaining accessible to all crew members. The clear visual representations of tidal patterns make it equally valuable for experienced captains planning complex transits through the Pentland Firth and junior officers learning the intricacies of northern European tides.
