Ship Day Signal Shapes

Marine day signal shapes compliant with COLREGs 1972 and IMO standards. These foldable black shape signals (ball, cone, double cone, cylinder, diamond) are used on board vessels to clearly indicate status: anchored, aground, towing, fishing, constrained by draft, or restricted maneuverability, during daylight hours for collision avoidance and maritime safety.

Products Description

 

product-800-800

Day signal shapes are mandatory devices for commercial ships, workboats, fishing vessels, yachts, and offshore platforms. Constructed from black net or fabric with steel wire reinforcement, they deliver clear visibility in day light conditions in maritime environment. Available in different shapes, they support quick rigging, compact stowage, and regulatory compliance for navigation.

FAQ

Q: Are these day signals approved for international waters?

A: Yes, fully compliant with COLREGs 1972 and accepted globally. No 3rd party certificates are required.

Q: What size do I need for my vessel?

A: ≥20m LOA use standard ≥0.6m shapes; <20m use proportionally reduced sizes (not available with us, as we supply for commercial vessels mainly.

Q: Can I buy individual shapes instead of a full kit?

A: Yes, balls, cones, cylinders, and diamonds are sold separately.

Q: How do I store collapsible shapes?

A: Fold flat and store in the supplied bag; minimal locker space required.

Q: How long do they last in marine environments?

A: 3–5 years with normal use; UV and saltwater resistant for offshore conditions.
