marine signaling

Marine signaling involves using visual, sound, and electronic methods to communicate between vessels and with shore stations, ensuring safe navigation and coordination at sea. Visual signals include flags, lights, and shapes that convey messages about a ship’s status or intentions. Sound signals, such as horns and bells, alert nearby vessels to maneuvers or warnings, especially in poor visibility. Electronic signals like radio and GPS enable real-time communication across long distances. Together, these methods help prevent collisions, share information about navigational hazards, and coordinate maritime operations effectively.
