2. ColRegs: Rules of the Road

A fully illustrated guide to the Steering and Sailing Rules, Sound and Light Signals and Distress Signals contained in the ColRegs.

The app helps you interpret what other vessels are doing, determine which vessel should take action and understand how to prevent a possible collision. It includes:

The app explains both IALA system A and IALA system B, helping recreational and professional seafarers recognise different navigation marks by day or night and understand what they mean. It includes:

• As a quick-reference guide
• As a learning and revision tool
• As a visual aide-memoire
