Communicate with signal flags

Signal flags are a traditional form of communication in shipping. Moreover, this 'shipping language' has been universally established, so that international ships can communicate with each other easily and relatively quickly over distance. Each signal flag represents a letter from the alphabet as we know it or represents a number. Codes are formed by making combinations.

For example, the combination PYU means “have a good trip”. This also makes it possible to ask questions. For example, the flag combination ECE asks for the course. All codes can be looked up in the International Code Book.

Use of signal flags today
Nowadays, communication between ships usually takes place via radio. Yet the signal flags are indeed used regularly. It is therefore always useful to have the signal flags at hand in the event of an emergency. Good to know: V stands for “I need help!”.
