     Radar stations are of major importance for providing navigation safety in the conditions of ever expending fishing in coastal areas, high consentration of ships on fishing banks, heavy traffic on navigable routes and in port waters.

     Marine radio direction finders are indispensable for pilotage of ships in narrow channels and for radar fixing of ships. For instance the “Rumb” radio direction finder has a visual bearing readout, a digital tuning frequency indicator, and a special system for monitoring operation modes and voltages. The device is distinguished by its high noise immunity and excellent reliability.

     The “Vega” gyroscopic course indicator and the ИЭЛ – 2М electronic induction log are among electric navigational instruments that serve for determining the course and speed of the vessel and for transmitting the initial data to other systems. 

     In recent years, due to changes in the conditions of work for fishing vessels, the use of the receivers of pulse-type phase comparison, satellite and phase comparison radio navigation systems on fishing ships is becoming particularly important. The KPI-SF and PIRS-IM navigation receivers permit the navigators to obtain an accurate position fix for the ship, cut down passage time, reach exactly the commercial fish concentration needed and hold the ship steady on this concentration, and make repeated fishing in the same place.
