Why Onboard Teams Globally Rely on the Signwell IMO Maritime Safety Catalogue

In today’s maritime industry, safety is a continuous responsibility, not a checklist. Whether operating in the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, or international waters, vessels must comply with strict IMO resolutions, SOLAS regulations, and ISO standards. Clear, compliant maritime safety signage is essential for protecting crew, supporting emergency readiness, and to avoid non-conformities from inspections from authorities such as Traficom, DNV, Lloyd’s Register, and ClassNK.

For onboard teams responsible for safety, maintenance, or procurement, keeping track of the correct standardized IMO signs can be time‑consuming. That’s why a structured, reliable, and up‑to‑date catalogue is more than a convenience, it’s a competitive advantage.

The Signwell IMO Maritime Safety Catalogue is designed to make daily safety tasks easier for vessels operating in Finland, the Baltics, Scandinavia, Europe, and worldwide.
