Notice

Although this hyperlinked version of the rules of the road has been made with all possible effort to avoid mistakes, this is NOT an official document, and cannot replace the official version for ships that are obliged to have these rules by the SOLAS convention.

This text has been compiled by the Gretta Group OU in Tallinn - Estonia, on contract by Nautisk Forlag A/S in Oslo - Norway. If you find any mistakes in this text we would be very glad to receive information about it. Such information should be emailed to webmaster@nautisk.com

You can download this text by pressing Ctrl+S in Netscape Navigator (or use the command File | Save As... from the menu-line - works in both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer). You have to save each file into a directory - and you can access it by making a short-cut to the file index.htm - it is the content page. There is also a single download of the text on our site, as a .zip file.

Be aware of that this is an international convention, and as so there is no copyright on the text. If you want to purchase the convention, it is sold as IMO publication IMO-904E - and you may order it from sales@nautisk.com

If you have any enhancements - or improvements, we would also receive them and try to incorporate them into the lay-out. Ideas of other similar projects that could benefit the world-wide nautical community would also be of much interest.
