RIPAM

The Règlement international pour prévenir les abordages en mer, the rules at sea (the COLREGs) in French. SHOM, the French Navy's hydrographic office, publishes the up-to-date text as a free PDF. It is SHOM's copyright, so it is not reproduced here.

Division 240, the safety kit for French-flagged boats, lists the RIPAM among the documents on board away from the coast.
