This manual aims to help yachtsmen and motorboaters pass the International Certificate of Competence (ICC) test, which is essential for anyone wanting to take their boat to the inland waterways of Europe and to many European coastal waters too. It provides details on the syllabus, helpful revision of all subjects, and self-test questions and answers. Collision regulations and CEVNI are covered, along with boat-handling skills.
