• Resumen

  • "Avoiding Collisions at Sea" (ACTs) was a project funded by the European programme "Leonardo da Vinci" and is managed by Faculty of Maritime Studies, University of Rijeka, Croatia. Other partners who are participating in this project are from United Kingdom, Spain, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Turkey. The goal of this project was to detect gaps in knowledge, understanding and applying of COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 - Rules) and to develop new way of teaching COLREGs. Research was conducted on more than 1500 seafarers, nautical students and amateur seafarers. On the base of research results, new teaching material was prepared which consists of more than 280 on-line scenarios explaining how to use the Rules in real-life situations. Each scenario consists of description of scenario and explanation which Rule(s) apply and why. Where it is appropriate, scenario is accompanied by video of bird’s-eye view, bridge view, radar screen view and ECDIS view. Developed new innovative way of teaching COLREGs will improve understanding of the Rules.
