European Waterways Regulations – CEVNI Rules Explained
Book in EnglishPaperback edition
Master the Rules of European Inland Waterways
Navigating Europe’s intricate network of rivers, canals, and lakes demands more than just seamanship—it requires a deep understanding of the CEVNI regulations.

Whether you're preparing for the mandatory CEVNI exam or need a reliable reference on board, this book is your indispensable companion for safe and legal cruising across Europe’s interconnected waterways.
Why the CEVNI Code Matters
Established by the United Nations in 1985, the CEVNI (Code Européen des Voies de la Navigation Intérieure) standardizes navigation rules across Europe, enabling boaters of all nationalities to communicate and operate safely without a shared language. This guide aligns with the latest CEVNI 6 standards, covering everything from visual signals and buoyage to right-of-way rules—including the critical "blue board" priority system. With this knowledge, you’ll avoid fines, prevent collisions, and ensure smooth sailing through even the busiest locks and junctions.

Forget dense legal jargon. This guide presents regulations in a visually engaging format, with color-coded sections, illustrations, and concise explanations. Key chapters include:
- Visual signals (lights, shapes, and flags)
- Navigation rules (speed limits, overtaking, and mooring)
- Sound signals (horn blasts and their meanings)
- Sample CEVNI exam questions to test your knowledge
Its compact, durable paperback design makes it easy to stow on board or study on the go, while sustainably sourced paper reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility.
