Colregs

The Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, commonly known as COLREGs, is a set of rules established to ensure safe navigation and prevent maritime accidents between vessels. Created by the International Maritime Organization, these rules outline responsibilities for vessels at sea, such as how to navigate in different situations, who has the right of way, and how to communicate. By following COLREGs, mariners help protect lives, property, and the marine environment during their navigation, promoting safer seas for everyone involved in maritime activities.
