Navigating a ship through inland waterways has always been a difficult task, requiring a good knowledge of pilotage. For confident orientation the navigator must correctly recognize the navigation equipment marks and, guided by changes in the vessel’s position relative to them, determine the correctness of the vessel’s movement and take actions to correct it. For reliable positioning, the navigator periodically refers to the navigational information shown on navigation charts from atlas. Navigation information for navigators has traditionally been presented in the form of charts, which, regardless of the carrier, represented a flat terrain model. Two-dimensional maps are used so far and serve many purposes, but they invariably limit perception. Nowadays, but so far for the purposes of maritime navigation in narrows, three-dimensional charts have been developed and are being implemented. The way of presenting cartographic information in three dimensions is not fundamentally new, but for shipping purposes it has been used only in the last decade. This article discusses the prospects for the use of three-dimensional navigational charts for inland navigation. Purpose identification of new particulars in ship handling using three-dimensional navigation charts to improve navigational safety on inland waterways. Methodology the article used the methods of situational and structural analysis of a qualitatively complex organizational and technical navigation system. Results: a comparative situational analysis of the use of three-dimensional navigation charts was carried out in relation to the characteristics of navigation conditions on inland waterways. Practical implications the results obtained can be used in the ship handling of vessels equipped with cartographic systems that display three-dimensional navigation charts on inland waterways.
