CEVNI stands for Code Européen des Voies de Navigation Intérieure and is the code governing navigation on the interconnected European inland waterways. Signs, rules and procedures for navigating the European inland waterways are all included within the CEVNI code and in the same way as pleasure craft on coastal waters are expected to abide by the COLREGS, pleasure craft on the inland waterways of Europe are expected to know and follow the CEVNI code.
If you require an ICC valid for use on inland waters, you must learn the CEVNI code and can sit the test at the Little Ship Club. We will confirm successful completion of the test by signing the relevant section of the ICC application form (there is no separate certificate). You can sit the test most Tuesday evenings by prior arrangement with the Club Office on 020 7236 7729 at no cost.
In addition to the passing the CEVNI test, you must present a qualifying RYA practical course completion certificate or pass an ICC practical test. These can be arranged on preferential terms through the Club with Wessex Cruising based at Weymouth on the Jurassic Coast which is also the location of the 2012 Olympic sailing events.
The "RYA European waterways regulations (the CEVNI rules explained)" publication G17 provides the information you need to learn the code, click here for more information.
