IRPCS Activity 1 Avoid a Crash

IRPCS - Avoid a crash!

IRPCS stands for  the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea - in basic terms, they are the rules of the Maritime 'road'. They give us a framework to help prevent collisions.

This activity is a great way to test knowledge of the rules of the road - carefully study the pictures, and choose which boat should stand on and which should give way. Draw the path the boats should take and state which rule you think should be used. If you get stuck, take another look at our IRPCS Basics Poster!
