LORAN-C EXPANSION: IMPACT ON OFFSHORE TECHNOLOGY

Expansion of the Loran-C Navigation System will have a substantial impact on offshore navigation in the U.S. Coastal Confluence Zone. Loran-C provides a precise, continuously-available method of vessel location, permitting more effective harvest of natural resources through considerable savings in time, money and energy. This paper summarizes the expansion plans and discusses the benefits of Loran-C for the offshore user.
