The purpose of the study was to enhance methodologies for determining ship position, thereby increasing the accuracy and reliability of navigation. The study involves a comparative analysis of current methods for establishing navigational positions, specifically using bearing and radar data, with an assessment of the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of each approach. Findings indicated that the precision and effectiveness of each method are heavily influenced by navigational conditions, including weather, geographical location, and vessel type. Although conventional methods remain applicable, they present limitations that may result in substantial positioning errors. In response to these limitations, new approaches are developed and tested, notably through the combined use of direction finders and radar data to improve accuracy. A comparative analysis of these innovative methods against conventional practices demonstrates enhanced accuracy and reliability under variable navigational conditions. These findings inform recommendations for refining ship positioning techniques to enhance navigational safety and optimise maritime transport operations. The recommendations emphasise advancing the use of modern technologies, such as global navigation systems and the integration of multiple data sources, to improve the dependability of navigation solutions. In addition, the adoption of automated systems for analysing and processing navigational data is advised to support timely decision-making in challenging navigational environments
