NEW YORK IBIZA Voyage Plan
This is a hypothetical voyage plan I had to do on my 1/C training cruise May through July '99. Waypoints and mercator sailings not included. While evaluating the best route for this voyage we had to consider a route that would allow the ship to sail easy with good weather and would save time as well. This is important since the ship would be doing weekly runs. After considering the above a course of 072.2T from the sea buoy was chosen. At a speed of 15 knots it would take 8 days, 18 hours, and 53mins. to cross the Atlantic and meet the time of arrival to Ibiza, Balearic Islands at 0453 26 May. ETA to the final destination will be approximately 1700 on 9 June. Attached is a comprehensive list of the waypoints that the ship will follow during its voyage. The waypoints have been chosen after meticulously checking at the charts. While plotting the waypoints on the charts special attention was paid to shallow areas, CPA's to land and whenever possible terrestrial aids to navigation were used for course changes. The AMVER report was prepared before setting sail and would be sent 24 hours from departure and updated every 24 hours, refer to the sample page to see a sample of Sai
Since adequate time at the berth of the port is alloted, provisions are made to refuel the vessel with an adequate amount of bunkers to sustain the voyage from this port to the Port of West Palm Beach, Florida. The topped up fuel oil and potable water tanks that will make the vessel ready for the voyage will present new drafts. Leaving the Port of Ibiza will be in the same fashion as entered.
