In today's world of unpredictable environments and turbulent changes, meteorology as a science plays an extremely important role for a smooth journey and a safe course of navigation. This work is summarized through a number of scientific methods as well as research, all with the purpose of presenting the importance of ensuring navigation to the seas as well as rivers. In order for information about the state of the atmosphere to be passed on through various channels of end users, the geophysical science of meteorology and oceanology is needed. Also, thanks to technological advances to world organizations, station services, such information circulates smoothly. Ultimately, navigation planning as the most important item, refers to all activities related to make a navigation plan. In meteorological navigation, the most appropriate route is selected taking into account meteorological and oceanological factors and vessel control in severe weather conditions. It is concluded that coordinated meteorology and oceanology, world meteorological organizations, technology that enables the digitization of weather maps and proper navigation planning leads to sailing becoming safer.
