Sažetak
The term “navigation” implies actions undertaken to enable a vessel to sail safely from the port of departure to the port of arrival in a defined period of time. The navigation of the vessel is exposed to many dangers and accidents which can occur and may have far reaching consequences on people, society, property and the marine environment. By analysing maritime accidents in the past, it has been established that human error and incorrect interpretation of the Rules are the most frequent causes of vessels collisions. Recognizing this, the European Union approved the project "Avoiding Collisions at Sea" (ACTs) funded by the European "Leonardo da Vinci” programme. The purpose of this research was to identify skill gaps in the knowledge and teaching of COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 - Rules) for maritime professionals. The results have clearly identified gaps in the understanding of some parts of COLREGs due to the misinterpretation and misapplication of the Rules. The only way to change this in the future is to improve learning methods, understanding and proper application of COLREGs inter alia using these research results. An investigation into collisions in multi-ship environments and situations in which more than one Rule is applicable, has shown that new learning materials and ship simulation scenarios could help in better understanding and application of the Sea Rules of the Road.
