Introduction

Maritime Collision Regulations, also known


as COLREGs, are internationally recognized
rules that govern vessel navigation to
prevent collisions at sea.
The regulations were established to
promote safe navigation and avoid
accidents between ships and other
watercraft in open waters
The International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea, also known
as the COLREGs, were established in
1972 by the International Maritime
Organization (IMO).

These regulations have been updated


and amended over the years to adapt
to changing maritime practices and
technologies.

They apply to all types of vessels


operating in international and coastal
waters under the jurisdiction of
signatory countries.
