No results found.This course introduces you to the maritime traffic rules that small-scale fishers in coastal and inland waters should know about. It provides guidance on actions to take in day-to-day traffic situations at sea, during daylight and at night. Working in the fisheries sector is globally one of the most dangerous jobs, with an estimated 32 thousand fatalities annually and hundreds of thousands of accidents and injuries of crew on board of fishing vessels. Most of these accidents happen on board of small-scale fishing vessels, frequently resulting in disability and death among fishers. Increasing knowledge and understanding of the maritime traffic rules will help to reduce accidents. Application of the maritime traffic rules is an important safety measure at sea. -
