The ColRegs are a complex set of regulations that govern the conduct of ships and other vessels in international waters.

In addition to providing a detailed explanation of the ColRegs, the handbook also includes chapters on bridge watch-keeping, radar plotting, and techniques for answering ColRegs questions in MCA exam conditions. It demonstrates how other maritime regulations work hand-in-hand with the ColRegs, ensuring a holistic understanding of maritime safety.

Simon Jinks is an experienced teacher of ColRegs, having taught students preparing for MCA Masters, OOW, Boat master, and Chief Mates exams, as well as those studying for RYA Yachtmasters and IYT Master of Yacht Qualifications. His teaching notes, developed over many years, have been adapted into this handbook, with additional extras around the subject to help in greater understanding.

Whether you are a novice mariner or a seasoned professional, this handbook is an essential resource for anyone who needs to understand and apply the ColRegs. It will help you navigate the complexities of international waters safely and efficiently, and ensure that you comply with all relevant regulations.
