The International Code of Signals (ICOS) is an international system of signals and codes for use by vessels to communicate important messages regarding safety of navigation and related matters. Signals can be sent by flaghoist, signal lamp ("blinker"), flag semaphore, radiotelegraphy, and radiotelephony. The International Code is the most recent evolution of a wide variety of maritime flag signalling systems.
Alphabet flags are used on ships to communicate various meanings. Each letter of the alphabet has a different associated message. This communication system is known as the ICS (International Code of Signals) and it is how ships communicate with each other at sea.
The Importance of The International Code of Signals Flags
Having a set of International Code of Signals flags is vital if you own a boat, yacht, sailboat or other vessel that goes out on the ocean as it enables you to communicate with other vessels around you (i.e. signaling for assistance or telling them to steer clear). Each flag within the international code of signals has a specific and standard meaning, as well as a single letter associated with it, so if there isn't a flag with a specific meaning that gets your message across, you can spell it out letter by letter.
