IMO Life Saving Symbols

The IMO Life-Saving Symbols are standardized symbols adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)to ensure clear and consistent communication of safety procedures on ships, especially in emergencies. These symbols are used on vessels to indicate safety equipment, procedures, and actions related to life-saving and emergency response.

The IMO symbols help ship crew and passengers quickly understand what actions or equipment are needed, even in situations where language barriers may exist. These symbols are designed to be simple, clear, and universally recognized.
