When it comes to maritime safety, not all IMO signs are created equal. Many shipowners unknowingly compromise safety by purchasing signs from generic sign makers who lack deep knowledge of SOLAS regulations, photoluminescent standards, and escape route engineering. The result? A fragmented, non-compliant signage system that could fail in an emergency.
Signwell’s New Generation IMO Safety Signage System is engineered to exceed standards, not just meet them. It’s the future of marine safety signage, and here’s why.
Commonly used signs often contain PVC, which is prohibited under SOLAS Chapter II-2 Reg 6 due to its toxic smoke potential. Signwell’s IMO signs are PVC- and halogen-free, ensuring compliance and safety.
Our signs use a photoluminescent material with luminescence classes XL (B+) and XXL (C+), recommended by the Photoluminescent Safety Products Association (PSPA). This guarantees visibility for hours, even in total darkness.
With double-sided foam tape backing, installation is fast and secure. The lightweight design (1/3 lighter than PVC) reduces onboard weight, contributing to energy efficiency.
Professional signage providers like Signwell don’t just sell signs, they engineer complete safety Signage systems. This includes:
Only the use of signs labelled “EXIT” won’t cut it. SOLAS requires correct symbols, strategic placement, and system integration to ensure every passenger finds their way in an emergency
Signwell’s mission is clear:
“To be Your Sign & Safety Supplier with knowledge and the highest performing products on the market and the fastest services, while minimizing environmental impact.”
