What Are Car Deck Signs?
Car Deck Signs are specialized safety signs designed for use on the vehicle decks and ramps of ferries. They provide clear, essential instructions to both passengers and vehicle operators during the loading, unloading, and transit phases. These Signs help maintain order, enhance safety, and reduce the risk of accidents in one of the busiest and most potentially hazardous areas of a ferry vessel.
Typical messages on Car Deck Signs include traffic flow directions, parking instructions, emergency exits, engine shut-off notices, and general behavior guidelines. As part of the IMO Safety Sign system, these signs follow internationally recognized standards to ensure they are understandable across different languages and nationalities—crucial on international ferry routes.
