These black geometric shapes indicate a vessel’s status, such as at anchor, not under command or aground from sunrise to sunset.
Day signals (day shapes) are mandatory visual tools used to communicate a vessel’s operational status or distress during daylight hours. These requirements are primarily governed by SOLAS Chapter III (Life-Saving Appliances) and Chapter V (Safety of Navigation), often in conjunction with COLREGS (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea).
Communicate a vessel’s operational status, type, and movement limitations to other mariners during daylight hours.
