The COLREGS – Time for a Rewrite?

Journal of Navigation, 2002
It is 30 years since major changes were last made to the collision regulations. This paper identifies a number of shortcomings in the current Rules, including excessive verbiage, unnecessary duplications and complications, and the use of weasel words. It also examines the use that has been made of Rule 2 in broadening the interpretation of other Rules.

COLREG

2003
The Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREG 1972) has been accepted by many States since it was adopted in 1972 and entered into force in July 1977. It was amended in 1981, 1987, 1989, 1993 and 2001. This publication contains the fully consolidated text of the 1972 Convention. It

The COLREGS and the Princess Alice

Journal of Navigation, 2008
There is currently considerable interest in the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea (the COLREGS). Suggestions for changes are made, but their validity is difficult to assess because there is little possibility of testing new proposals before they are introduced.

Safe maritime navigation with COLREGS using Velocity Obstacles

2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2011
This paper presents a motion planning algorithm for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) to navigate safely in dynamic, cluttered environments. The proposed algorithm not only addresses Hazard Avoidance (HA) for stationary and moving hazards but also applies the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (known as COLREGS).

Clarification of the Steering and Sailing Rules of the COLREGS

Journal of Navigation, 1995
Traffic regulations have to be clear and strict. Only then can navigators ran their vessels safely. As a complete set of simple rules cannot be developed and introduced within the next decade, suggestions are made to improve the existing rules.

‘Fast Craft and the COLREGS’

Journal of Navigation, 1998
The May 1997 issue of the Journal contains an essay by R. D. Pike on fast craft. I very much agree with his opinion on factual matters. However, I do not agree with the author's legal opinion on the existing COLREGS and I would like to suggest for consideration a much simpler solution in the future COLREGS.

MASS, COLREG, and Technologies

Ship collision avoidance is crucial in maritime navigation and a significant challenge is translating the Collision Regulations (COLREG) into collision avoidance algorithms suitable for fully autonomous ships. To investigate, a mixed-method experimental research of criteria-based subjective performance was undertaken.

MASS and COLREGS–Adaptability, Challenges and Coping Strategies

International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence
Discussions surrounding Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are occurring in academia, industry, and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Automatic collision avoidance, as one of the key technologies of MASS, is the core of the autonomous navigation function of MASS, and its role is to solve the autonomous collision avoidance problem ...

High Speed Craft and Colregs – A Proposal

Journal of Navigation, 1998
Pike has pointed out the increasing risk of collision resulting from the expansion of the fast commercial vessel fleet and has made some proposals for alleviating the problems. This paper points out some difficulties with Pike's proposals and suggests, instead, a simpler modification of the philosophical basis of the colregs which would equally
