Rule 10 TSS: Traffic Separation Schemes
£25.00
This publication is a guide to navigating and collision avoidance when sailing through a traffic separation scheme. It is useful to all deck officers learning the application of Rule 10 of the COLREGs. Accident case studies illustrate both operational and safety considerations and are visually supported by ARPA screenshots.
This
publication
offers
comprehensive
guidance
on
using
COLREGs
when
navigating
in
a
traffic
separation
scheme.
The
concept
of
a
TSS
is
explained,
in
addition
to
its
criteria
and
design
according
to
IMO
guidelines.
The
book
is
supported
by
additional
concepts,
such
as
‘hampered
vessels’,
grounding
these
in
COLREGs
guidance
and
offering
manoeuvring
advice.
The
aim
of
this
book
is
to
isolate
major
causal
factors
that,
when
followed,
break
the
‘error
chain’
and
stop
accidents
from
occurring.

Good Value, highly readable textbook leaves no excuses for TSS ignorance
This new textbook on traffic separation schemes is intended to fill a gap in the available study materials – as explained by author Kevin Vallance in our profile on page 29. Written by an experienced deepsea pilot, the guide helps readers to understand a vital aspect of the international collision regulations and put the rules into practice. Clearly and attractively laid out, Rule 10 TSS uses illustrations and contrasting colours to make the subject matter easily digestible. Captain Vallance told the Telegraph that readability was at the forefront of his mind when writing the book, and he particularly wanted to make it accessible to mariners whose first language is not English. Efforts have been made to choose recent and highly relevant case studies, in order to bring home the importance of the Colregs and help students to realise that this is not an academic exercise. In addition, the price has been kept at a reasonable level and the paperback format isn’t too weighty, so there’s no excuse not to have a look at the book. Let’s hope everyone who needs this gets a copy and that safety at sea improves accordingly.
