This is the guide for serious prefessionals who require a comprehensive understanding of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. The authors are exceptionally well qualified to provide this commentary as they have been involved in successive revisions of the Rules. The full text of each rule is followed by a thorough discussion of its meaning, interpretation and implications. Useful sections contain extracts from the current STCW Code and provide manoeuvring characteristics for a number of ship types and the book is carefully indexed. The text and illustrations are clear.
