Columbia Group has launched a mobile and web-based app designed to teach the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs).
The COLREGs Challenge is an educational tool which uses gameplay to turn regulatory learning into an immersive, interactive experience.
Targeted at cadets, junior officers, and developed in collaboration with 4Growth.com BV, the app presently includes more than 20 interactive modules covering practical maritime scenarios. More modules will be introduced soon.
Themed campaigns cover basic navigation, collision avoidance, lights and shapes, and signals and buoys.
Game styles include bridge view, radar simulation, ECDIS-style navigation, puzzle quizzes, and arcade mini-games. The app includes performance tracking with scores, achievements, and fleet-wide leaderboards as well as motivation through play with unlockable achievements, feedback-driven learning, and mission-based storytelling.
Group Director of Training, Stewart Bankier said: “It is essential we understand the new learning needs of our seafarers, particularly our younger generation and how to keep them engaged and challenged in their careers.
