    The International Code of Signals (ICS) is an international system used by vessels to exchange important safety messages using various signaling methods, including semaphore. Semaphore uses a pair of hand-held flags in preset patterns to signal letters, and is one medium among flag hoists, signal lamps, and radio communications that ICS employs to enable communication between seafarers of different backgrounds.

    LECTURE ASSIGNMENT ‘WEEK’ 1 – 5/9/2023

    What is the relationship between semaphore and “ICS”


    CODE
    ANS: MUST BE Hand written.

    The International Code of Signals (ICS) is an international


    system of codes and signals used by vessels in order to exchange
    important messages in terms of safety of navigation and related
    matters.

    These signals include semaphore alongside others such as flag


    hoist, signal lamps, radiotelegraphy, and radiotelephony.
    A semaphore is a signaling system based on the positioning of a
    pair of hand-held flags in a particular, pre-set pattern. A flag that
    has red and yellow squares divided diagonally. Each wave of a
    pair of hand-held flags has a corresponding alphabet.
    Hence, semaphore is one of the mediums used by ICS to fully
    provide ways and means of communication to seafarers of
    different nationalities and languages.
