Directive 15/2014

LIFE-SAVING SIGNALS

Legal requirements 1. Pursuant to Merchant Shipping Act, Section 245Q(1), sub-paragraph (b), this Directive

15/2014 serves to make a provision for prescribing the signals of distress. 2. The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, Chapter V,

regulation 29 also requires that the signals shall be used by ships or persons in distress when communicating with life-saving stations, maritime rescue units and aircraft engaged in search and rescue operations.

Life-saving signals table 3. An illustrated table describing the life-saving signals shall be readily available to the

officer of the watch of every ship to which the SOLAS 1974 Convention, Chapter V applies.

4. Such life-saving signals are described in the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue (IAMSAR) Manual, volume III, Mobile Facilities, and illustrated in the International Code of Signals, as amended.

5. Shipboard personnel shall keep a copy of the table of life-saving signals on board and those shall have access to this table, or if this is not practicable, at least the table must have been studied before going on board the vessels.

6. The signals illustrated in the enclosure are to be used by any ship or person in distress when communicating with search and rescue units. Those have been agreed internationally for this purpose so that it is important to be familiar with those to ensure such signals are correctly used in distress situations.
