Введение

Данные методические указания предназначены для студентов 4-ого курса специальности «Судовождение» дневной и заочной формы обучения. Методические указания состоят из 12 уроков. Материал соответствует рабочим программам дисциплины «Деловой английский язык для судоводителей».

Материал для составления данных методических указаний был отобран из оригинальных публикаций Британского Адмиралтейства и Гидрографической службы Военно-морского флота Соединенного Королевства (лоций. Справочников мореплавателя и т.д.) последних лет издания. Настоящие методические указания позволяют полностью усвоить лексические единицы, употребляемые в лоциях, сокращения, используемые на британских картах, а также ознакомиться с принципами, положенными в основу работы с публикациями и картами на борту судна.

Работая с представленным материалом, студенты смогут в достаточной степени овладеть минимумом, необходимым при чтении лоций и карт на английском языке, т.е. выполнить требование, изложенное в Конвенции ПДНВ-78/95, о владении английским языком на уровне, требуемом для выполнения должностных обязанностей вахтенного помощника капитана на борту судна с целью обеспечения безопасности мореплавания и сохранности жизни на море.

Помимо этого, пособие снабжено грамматическим справочником, который поможет овладеть грамматическим конструкциями и закрепить полученные знания при выполнении упражнений.

В методических указаниях также содержится раздел по развитию навыков устной речи.

General Descriptions

Maldives are a chain of atolls extending from 40 miles S of the equator to 7N along the meridian of 73E.

Among the different atolls comprising the Maldives there are several good deep channels, but some are intricate and demand local knowledge; such channels should be avoided by low-powered vessels as currents set strongly through them, running E or W according to the season. It should be noted that marked variations in the direction of these currents have been reported.

Although very low lying the coral islands standing on the atolls may be detected by radar at ranges of more than 20 miles, thence the arrangement of individual islands can often be obtained at about 15 miles distant and the breakers near the edges of reefs are usually detected at about 2 miles.

The many openings through the barrier reefs which fringe the atolls are generally deep, but difficult to discern beyond a distance of 3 or 4 miles at which range they appear as one continuous line to a vessel approaching them; however, when within 1or 2 miles the channels will usually be seen distinctly in favourable light conditions.

Many of the islands have uncharted small landing platforms, piers or jetties and small harbours; it should be noted that the navigational lights for some of the harbours may not conform to the IALA Maritime Buoyage System (Region A).

Several islands lie on the barrier reef which extends about 7 ½ miles NW from Gan (042S, 7310E); the principal islands on the S part of this reef are described below.

Feydhoo, lying close NW of Gan is thickly wooded; a ruined causeway connects it with Gan. A number of small islets lie on the barier reef SW and W of Feydhoo.

M., the SE part of Maradhoo, lying close NW of Feydhoo to which it is connected by a causeway, is thickly wooded; Maradhoo has scattered trees and shrub near its NW end.

Hankede, a wooded island, lying about 1 cable NW of Maradhoo is connected to it by a causeway; it is also connected by causeway NW, to a wooded isthmus extending about 1¼ miles SSE from the S end of Hithadhoo. Hankede Hajara lies on the coral reef close S of Hankede.

From Vaadhoo Kuda Kandu (012N, 7314E) the reef extends 5½ miles WNW to Fiyoaree Kandu.

From Fiyoaree Kandu the reef extends about 8 miles NW to Nadallaa and thence NNW for 11 miles to Kaadedhdhoo Kandu; this reef, forming the largest part of the SW side of the lagoon, is so densely encumbered with small islets that it appears , from some directions, as a single large island.

Thinadhoo (032N, 7300E), an islet lying about 3½ miles N of Kaadedhdhoo Kandu, is well wooded, very low and swampy in parts. It is densely populated and reported to be the seat of Government of the atoll with radio communication with Male. There is a concrete wharf situated on the E side of the island; the approach to the wharf is tortuous and local knowledge is required.

From Roebera Point (8161 N, 7301E) Minicoy Island with a dense covering of coconut palms about 19 m high, extends 1¾ miles ESE to Teveratio Point, the SE point of Minikoy; then it it extends 1¾ miles NE to Mou-Rambu Point, from where a narrow peninsula projects about 2½ miles NNE to Kodi Point (819 4N, 7304 7E), the NE point of the island, which is marked by a beacon. A rock, 1 m high, stands 1½ cables farther NE.

Ko Vari Bay (816 6N, 7303 7E) lies close SW of Mou-Rambu Point. Two beacons, orange with orange triangular top marks, stand onshore at the N part of the bay; the alignment (268) of these beacons leads from seaward towards the bay passing S of the shoal water off Mou-Rambu Point.

The island is about 5 miles long, orientated NNE/SSW, with a maximum width of 3 cables; it lies on the E side of a coral atoll. The ends of the island are covered by a low growth of scrub. There is a village in the centre of the island.

The coral atoll extends, nearly parallel with the island, up to about 1 mile off its W side; it also surrounds both the N and S ends of the island extending about 7½ cables N; the E coast is generally steep-to.

Peremul Par consists of a narrow drying reef enclosing a lagoon; it has been previously reported that a sand cay, 1 m high, stood near the NE end of the reef. At high water with a smooth sea much of the reef does not break, making the edge of the reef difficult to distinguish.

Chetlat is wooded with coconut palms. A reef fringes the S and W sides of the island extending up to 5 cables from its W side forming a lagoon, with shoal water and some isolated rocks extending about 3½ cables farther seaward; rocks and foul ground fringe much of the E side of the island which is otherwise steep-to.

The reef is below water except for its SE point which dries. There are shoal depths all around this reef; but the shoal area on the N side, about 3 miles wide with charted depths of from 7.3 to 15.0 m, is indicated by overfalls. The latter area should be avoided because it is encumbered with coral rocks, which can be seen plainly from a vessel passing over them, and it may be shoaler than charted. The coral rocks forming the reef are also discernable at low water.
