Dependable navigation instruments were critical to explorers crossing oceans because they helped determine the ship's position, direction, and distance traveled. Without accurate navigation tools, explorers risked getting lost at sea, running out of supplies, or encountering dangerous obstacles like reefs or storms. These instruments were essential for improving the chances of successfully reaching their destination and safely returning home.
The most common control system used in international maritime is the Integrated Navigation System (INS). This system integrates various navigation instruments such as GPS, radar, and gyrocompass to provide accurate and reliable navigation information to the ship's crew for safe and efficient navigation.
