The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to Aids to Navigation (AtoN) data, specifically S-201, S-125 and S-124. It is expected that participants will be able to understand the Product Specifications for the S-200 series and how they may impact their daily tasks associated with AtoN by the end of the course. In addition, participants will be given an overview of the scope of work that needs to be completed for this transition. Participants will have the opportunity to observe a sea trial on the last day, in which they will be able to learn more about the practical application of data exchange and observe real-world data exchange.
