Description
Brown’s Rule of the Road Manual is a professional handbook on the COLREGs and the navigator’s assessments when encountering other traffic. The book combines regulatory content with explanations and supporting material for deck officers and maritime students.
The publisher’s description of the 19th edition details a revised and expanded presentation that includes the 2010 STCW Manila amendments, the British oral examination syllabus, and selected IMO measures and guidelines for safe navigation. IALA buoyage and sea marks are illustrated with color diagrams.
The book can be used for studies, revision, and professional discussions on collision prevention. For operational use, the content must be cross-referenced with current COLREGs and the vessel’s updated procedures.
The publication is in English and is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd.
