A contact closes from the port beam in a crossing situation — are you the give-way vessel or the stand-on vessel? Apply the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) in real time: crossing, overtaking, head-on, and restricted-visibility encounters across all vessel types. Covers Rules 11–18 (conduct of vessels in sight), Rule 19 (restricted visibility), and Rules 34–35 (sound and light signals).
The Rules of the Road is the highest-weighted topic on the USCG deck officer examination and the most career-critical knowledge a mariner carries. Free exam prep for all licence grades — OUPV through Ocean Master.
