Professional mariners, military and civilian, will find this book to be an invaluable reference in understanding the rules of the road and the role these rules play in managing the risk of collision. The author provides a thorough commentary on the rules and an analysis of collision cases involving abuse of the rules. Maritime attorneys and judges will find the book continues to be an indispensable reference on collision law as Craig Allen provides a mariner's insight into how the rules apply in context and their application by the courts and administrative tribunals. This new edition completely revises chapters on the rules pertaining to good seamanship and special circumstances and on restricted visibility, and it vastly expands coverage of the narrow channel rule, traffic separation schemes, and the application of the rules to high-speed craft. It also extensively revises materials on the look out and risk of collision responsibilities to update coverage on radar and ARPA and to address new technologies, such as integrated bridge systems, automatic identification systems, voyage data recorders and the increasingly active role of VTS. The first update in ten years, the eighth edition upholds and even surpasses the standards set over the past sixty years of the guide's publication.

A Professional mariner's reference,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Farwell's Rules of the Nautical Road (U.S. Naval Institute Blue & Gold Professional Library) (Hardcover)
Farwell's should be on every professional mariner's bookshelf. This book is the most in depth and thorough presentation on the nautical rules and how they are interpreted that anyone has ever assembled. Filled with references to legal cases and decisions that support the reasons behind each rule, Farwells's is used by admiralty lawyers everyday. The book also traces the history of each rule, and discusses the difference inland and COLREGS rules.
This book would not be recommended to a recreational boater who is looking to just learn the rules for a test. This is a thick, heavy reference that explores every nuance and detail of each rule. It is however, an excellent reference for any professional mariner who ever has command authority on board a vessel.

Excellent Reference,

This review is from: Farwell's Rules of the Nautical Road (U.S. Naval Institute Blue & Gold Professional Library) (Hardcover)
The content of this book exceeded my expectations. Originally purchased to increase my knowledge of a couple of the rules of the road. This text provides so much more. History of the rules, including case citations and plenty of easy to understand examples. I find myself picking it up often to just read. Excellent in all respects.
