On larger vessels the pelorus can be an aid to watch officers for predicting crossing situations and avoiding collisions.

Description

In traditional navigation the pelorus can be used to determine current position by plotting 3 bearings of known objects or checking current heading in relation to sun or stars. The pelorus is also an invaluable tool for compass adjusters – compass deviation can be determined by comparing compass reading to the sun’s azimuth or known bearings of distant objects such as navigation aids or lighthouses.
