IMO Life Saving Symbols

Safety Signs and Symbols for Maritime Vessels and IMO Compliance

Superyachts are subject to the same international standards as other maritime classes of vessels, and owners are required to provide a safe environment for both their guests and crew. Vessels on international voyages must comply with all relevant IMO regulations, including those in the SOLAS and Load Lines Conventions.

Vessels subject to these regulations include

  • Superyachts and Megayachts

  • Cruise Ships and Ocean Liners

  • Container Ships, Oil Tankers, and Bulk Carriers

  • Platform Supply Vessels, Offshore Construction Vessels, and Oil or Gas Platforms

  • Fighting Ships, Fleet Auxiliaries, Naval Dockyards, and Shipyards

IMO Life Saving Symbols include

  • Accommodation Symbols

  • Escape & Directions Symbols

  • Hazard Signs

  • IMO Fire Control Signs

  • IMO Safety Symbols

  • Posters

The safety of crew is paramount and in critical situations a well-placed high grade photoluminescent sign could mean the difference between life and death.

Bluewater carries over 200 safety symbols in the most popular style, 50mm X 50mm photo-luminescent vinyl. But we have the ability to special order the complete catalog of over 1000 symbols for your needs.

If you would like your symbols larger or smaller, in rigid photo-luminescent PVC, in brushed steel or brass, please contact us today.
