User reviews

Excellent t mobile source!

Quick reference!
Excellent study material!

Required Reading!

Great format, easy to navigate around. Every boater should take the time to read cover to cover and review periodically to have a reasonable command of their specific responsibilities when under way on the water.

Not very good

Just walls of text with, ironically, poor navigation around them. Quite disappointed.

Good to have on phone

Good app with info I need. Few improvements required though. Changing from rule to rule not in sequence means having to press menu, then Part then Rule. It needs to be easier to select a specific rule more quickly.

8F (iii) is not correctly formatted to match (i) and (ii).

Visualisation of lights on ships for Part C is a good way to help with the description of what’s required. This could be used in other rules as well such as Rule 9 and 10.

Perfect.

Perfect guide. But need to add special regulations for Singapore strait, Suez Canal and Asia region.
