Sažetak
The term “navigation” implies actions undertaken to enable the 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 marine environment. By analysing maritime accidents in the past, vessel collisions were identified as one of the most frequent type of accidents. Furthermore, it is known that human error and wrong interpretation of the Rules are the most frequent reasons for vessels collisions. Recognizing that issue, the European Union approved the project "Avoiding Collisions at Sea" (ACTs) funded by the European programme "Leonardo da Vinci". The purpose of this research is to identify skill gaps in the knowledge and teaching of COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 - Rules) for nautical engineering students and maritime professionals and non-professionals. The research results obtained have clearly showed skill gaps in the understanding of some parts of COLREGs due to wrong interpretation and application of the Rules. The only way to change this in the future is to improve learning methods of COLREGs inter alia using these research results.
