“…It would appear that they were given a very low priority at the initial concept and software design stage, and this has not improved with time [Leedham Marine Consultants Limited 2023]. Moreover, only positioning by plotting lines of position (LOP) using the traditional intercept method (IM) is provided, while celestial positioning methods are not implemented at all [Tsou 2020]. Thus, nowadays only Mercator plotting sheets and paper charts would be able to provide an effective and accurate celestial plot, and in the near future, paper charts will be withdrawn.…”

“…Tsou proposes a simple method for obtaining a celestial fix, developed within a Geographic Information System (GIS) under the framework of an ECDIS system. The underlying principle is dependent on the most fundamental theory in celestial navigation; the circle of position (COP) of the celestial bodies is plotted to find the fix [Tsou 2020].…”

The development of Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS) has revolutionised navigation on ships. GNSS, together with electronic chart display information system (ECDIS), has made navigation more accurate, efficient, and safer for sailors. However GNSS signals can be affected by various factors such as spoofing, jamming, ionospheric disturbances etc., while no backup means of position fixing in the open sea are available on board ships. Over-reliance on GNSS without the development of an alternative backup will jeopardise safe navigation of ships. However, most of the alternatives available are either complicated or expensive. By changing certain regulations and further development celestial navigation, a reliable and cost-effective backup system can be obtained.

“…Figure 2 shows how to use GIS (Geographic information system) to obtain celestial fix and how the proposed method can serve as a reference for the development of a celestial positioning module within the ECDIS [Tsou, 2020]. So, the most desired modern solution would be to upgrade ECDIS to solve problems in celestial navigation or its integration with specialized celestial navigation software.…”

This paper discusses the current and future role of celestial navigation and its application on board ships and in maritime educational institutions. Accordingly, the question is whether the governing bodies of the maritime industry should maintain their position unchanged or whether they should increase or decrease the importance of celestial navigation as part of the competencies of future officers. Celestial navigation, its evolution and the various methods of application, the possibilities of implementing future technologies, have all been the subject of many papers, but still no clear answer in which direction to go and what we can expect in years to come. The paper will systematically review and analyze existing legislation and recommendations, especially STCW (Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping and IMO (International Maritime Organization) acts. Also, the paper will provide an overview of various papers on this topic and the existing most used methods. An overview of what is considered a modern solution is also provided. The focus is on the advantages and disadvantages of celestial navigation in the context of the future environment in the maritime industry.
