Master the Tides of North Ireland and West Scotland with Unmatched Precision
This professional-grade tidal stream atlas transforms complex tidal data into actionable navigation intelligence. Designed for mariners who demand accuracy in challenging waters, it provides hourly tidal current vectors across the entire coverage area, allowing for precise route planning in one of Europe's most dynamic tidal regions. The 1.9 kg paperback reference delivers critical data where it matters most—on the bridge, in the chartroom, or during pre-voyage planning sessions.
Graphical Precision for Professional Decision-Making
Unlike basic tide tables, this atlas presents tidal stream information through intuitive graphical representations. Each page features graduated arrows showing current direction and velocity for every hour before and after the reference port, with separate indicators for neap and spring tidal rates. This visual approach eliminates guesswork, enabling mariners to quickly assess tidal conditions and make informed decisions about optimal departure times, route selection, and speed adjustments.
Engineered for the Demands of Commercial Navigation
The coverage area spans critical maritime routes between 54.3°N and 59.5°N latitude, including the North Channel, Firth of Clyde, and Hebridean waters. With tidal currents reaching significant velocities in these regions, the atlas provides the detailed data needed to calculate tidal assistance or resistance for specific dates, ensuring fuel-efficient operations and schedule adherence. The durable paperback binding withstands frequent handling in maritime environments, while the clear layout allows for rapid information retrieval during time-sensitive operations.
Trusted Reference for Regulatory Compliance
As an essential component of professional maritime navigation, this tidal stream atlas supports compliance with international maritime safety regulations. The 1995 edition (reprinted 1998) incorporates decades of tidal observations, providing the reliable data needed for passage planning, risk assessment, and operational decision-making. Whether navigating commercial shipping lanes, fishing grounds, or offshore energy installations, this atlas delivers the tidal intelligence required for safe and efficient operations in one of Europe's most challenging maritime environments.
This professional navigation reference provides comprehensive tidal stream data in a durable 1.9 kg paperback format. The atlas covers the coastal waters between 54.3°N and 59.5°N latitude, including North Ireland and West Scotland, with hourly graphical representations of tidal currents. Each diagram shows current direction and velocity for neap and spring tides in tenths of a knot, enabling precise calculation of tidal effects for specific dates. The 1995 edition (reprinted 1998) remains the standard reference for professional mariners operating in these challenging tidal waters.
