The book," A Guide to the Collision Avoidance Rules: International Regulation for preventing Collision at sea, Fourth Edition" by A.N. Cockcroft and J.N.F. Lameijer seek to complete change in presentation to make the new regulations easier to assimilate and understand by the users. The book focuses on Collision Regulation (ColReg), it's new set of regulations, highlights the changes, and to be understandable for those who aspire to become ship masters and navigating officers.
The book contains advice on how the Regulation are to be interpreted and Collisions avoided. The message emerges to me that there is need for study and careful consideration by the mariners of the new Regulations before being presented with a situation of danger in reality ( p.g. 228). With A complete text of the 1972 Regulations together with an explanation f the changes which have been made and background information of the International Conference. The author revolves the whole book about the safety of mariners, the understanding of rules under the ColReg, and how would mariners asses situation in case they will be on collision. It implies the grave danger on board, the experiences of the authors, and the rules abide.
The Book has sufficient data needed it includes the updated Regulations of ColReg, the International Conference adherence to the ColReg, the functions of each of Annexes and Rules. The structure of the book follows the ColReg arrangement in which Rules and Annexes are included followed by the standard training, and a table for use in assessing and avoiding risk of collision. It includes various types of vessels which unlikely be vulnerable or prone to collisions, the waterways, and the officers which is liable.
To sum up, the book wasn't updated as of the rules where implemented 1980's and I am 21st century learner. It gave sufficient data regarding ColReg with some advice in which I could use on board someday. The arrangement or structure of the book is good, the words and terms are understandable to me, and it gave me information if collision with the functions of ColReg's Rules and Annexes. The experiences of the author helped the readers to feel it's content and likely be trusted by those who aspire to be a mariner. It is a well written book, and it passed several institutions which we can depend.
