BSAFE COLLISION REGULATIONS (COLREGS) POSTERS

Published: 5 November 2024

The Britannia loss prevention team has created a series of COLREGs posters, highlighting the key elements of several rules in Part B of the COLREGs.

The posters use simple illustrations to portray scenarios covered by these rules, specifically targeting navigational watchkeepers. They clearly outline the required actions for compliance with each COLREGs rule.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) produced the COLREGs (also known as Rules of the Road or RoR) as a set of traffic regulations which have been internationally agreed. These rules apply to all vessels on the high seas and in all waters connected to them. They establish the standards for navigation light colours, the arrangement and placement of daylight signals and sound signals for manoeuvring and low-visibility conditions. The rules also outline collision avoidance actions for vessels approaching each other and designate responsibilities for taking the appropriate actions.

If you would like hard copies of these posters, please email the loss prevention team stating how many of each poster you would like and where to deliver to.
