Discharge Book Description of Voyage

[caroline_deck]

Morning All

Been discussing discharge book description of voyages with few colleagues this morning and we are unsure of what some of our description of voyages are.

Can anyone clarify what the following terms are
LEA
FGN
NC

Also if you have more LEA will that limit your ticket?

Thanks Everyone

NC is near coastal, FGN is Foreign Going Non UK, LEA is something to do with the north sea (I think) there's a diagram of the LEA area in the discharge book at the back.

LEA is larger european area , mostly for standby boats and the like. Means they are exempt from having certain things onboard (such as a sextant i found out on my last trip).

Maybe its the CoC that has it at the back then...

Strange mine have been ROROs and ROPAx and both had sextants

Just because the regulations say they are exempt from carrying them doesn't mean they don't carry them.

The ships I am on operate under LEA too but we carry a sextant.

Just because they're operating there doesn't mean they don't operate anywhere else and would be required to carry one...

My last trip on a research vessel in the Irish Sea was classed as a LEA voyage. This trip is going to be on the SW coast of Ireland, I don't know what this will be classed as.

The LEA extends some distance off the Irish coast. The chart is at the back of a CoC.

I am on a calmac ferry we carry a sextant

ISTR that there is no statutory requirement to carry a sextant specifically.

Don't forget that they have uses in terrestrial as well as in celestial navigation.

Did a search for my question and this is the only thread I could find,

Does anyone have a full list of the sea areas? I have LEA for most of mine but have URA for 3 of them, what the blazes does that mean?

Where did you go to get URA I thought it was LEA, EEA or unlimited?

[Silvertop]

I think they have added 2 bits together there. U for unlimited and RA for running agreement.
