Fix Position Using Two Astronomical Line Of Position
ABSTRACT: The Intercept Method (originally known as the Intercept Azimuth method) was created in 1875 by the French captain (latter admiral) Marq de Saint Hilaire. The method is still used today and is accepted by the International Maritime Organization as an component element of the Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers. This paper aims to present the way of graphically determination of the vessel's fix position with two astronomical position lines computed using the intercept method.
