Shipping sign H.2.4 - Naming fairway or object

Shipping sign BPR H.2.4

Naming waterway or object

White signs with blue text should be used to indicate the name of a waterway or object (harbour, bridge, lock, etc.).

A lock name sign is placed on the lock site parallel to the axis of the lock chamber. Such indications are more noticeable if they are placed on or on the front wall, so that when approaching the lock, the name can be seen from the waterway, if applicable in combination with the number of the VHF channel. The name of a bridge is affixed to the bridge above the waterway.

The waterways are divided into 4 waterway groups according to water level width as an aid to choosing the correct sign size. The signs must be placed parallel to the axis of the waterway. The mileage runs from source to sea or from high to low canal building.

Our official shipping signs are produced from durable aluminum and provided with a double-turned edge that reinforces the shipping sign. The double bent edge is also used for mounting the shipping sign on a bottle pole, tube pole or light pole. For good night visibility, we provide the shipping signs with class II or III retro-reflective foil. Our shipping signs are provided with CE marking
