The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) are vital for maritime safety as you must be able to identify vessels during the day by their special shapes, and at night by their lights. 

Understanding your obligations and the obligations of other vessels is essential. Enhanced illustrations provide a clear and authoritative explanation of each regulation, helping any seafarer understand their responsibilities. 

Split into themes (i.e. restricted visibility), readers are lead through the regulations by rule order. Chapters include:

• Assessing the Risk
• Who Gives Way?
• Restricted visibility
• Lights and Shapes
• Sound and Light Signals

This eBook version includes an interactive 360° tool to allow readers to gain a more realistic view of how vessels will actually appear, both by day and by night. There are 30 different 360° galleries comprising of more than 12,000 extra images.
