Definition
The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972, as amended, are published by the IMO as the COLREGs consolidated edition, with the annexes on light positioning, sound signal appliances, additional signals for fishing vessels and distress signals. National maritime administrations publish equivalent statutory editions. Carriage of an up-to-date copy is a legal requirement for most commercial vessels, and prudent for any yacht making international passages, since amendments occur periodically.
