Since the early 19th century, codes of signals have been made available for mariners to use as an internationally accepted system for communication at sea. Within the International Code of Signals, each signal holds a complete meaning, which is important for ensuring that specific safety-related situations can be communicated clearly, even when there are language barriers.

According to IMO MSC-MEPC.2/Circ.2, the International Code of Signals and IAMSAR Manual Volume III are intended for emergency use and must always be accessible in hard copy on board ships.

Description

International Code of Signals (IA994E)

 

Since its first edition, published in 1965, amendments to the Code have been adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) resulting in four subsequent editions. The fourth edition of the Code (2005 edition) incorporated all amendments up to MSC 73 in December 2000. The International Code of Signals has not been amended since its fourth edition and this current edition comprises only minor editorial improvements and a new cover. Therefore, both the 2005 edition and this edition of the Code are considered equally valid.
