Navigation Rules

Navigation rules refer to the guidelines that govern how vessels operate on waterways to ensure safety, prevent collisions, and facilitate smooth movement. These rules, often known as the "Rules of the Road," cover various scenarios, such as right of way, sound signals, and lighting requirements for different types of boats. They apply to all watercraft, from small recreational boats to large commercial ships, and promote responsible navigation practices. Understanding and following these rules is essential for ensuring the safety of everyone on the water, as well as protecting the environment and marine life.
