Publisher's Synopsis
This text covers the practical and legal aspects of the Collision Avoidance Rules. This edition incorporates the 1993 amendments to the International Regulations for Prevention Collisions at Sea 1972, which came into force in 1995. This book sets out the rules with clear comments on their meaning and the significance of the changes, with excerpts from court judgements to show how they have been interpreted in law. Arrangements of light and signals are illustrated in colour and diagrams explain aspects of the Steering and Sailing Rules.
