The ´W´ (Whiskey) flag carries a vital and specific message—"I require medical assistance"—making its presence onboard a critical element of your vessel´s safety protocol. Trust in Plastimo, a world-renowned leader in marine equipment, to provide a signal flag that meets the highest standards of quality and visibility.

Key Benefits for Every Mariner

Investing in a genuine Plastimo code flag provides tangible benefits that enhance safety and ensure compliance. This individual flag allows you to replace a single lost or damaged flag from your full set or to carry specific, critical signals without the bulk of a complete collection. Its primary benefit is its role in emergency communication; displaying the ´W´ flag is the internationally recognized method for signaling a medical emergency to nearby vessels or coastal stations, potentially saving valuable time when it matters most. Furthermore, carrying the correct signal flags ensures your vessel complies with maritime regulations, including those outlined in SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), avoiding potential fines and, more importantly, ensuring you are prepared for any situation.

Superior Design and Features

The Plastimo W flag is meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional performance in the demanding marine environment. The design strictly adheres to the official specifications of the International Code of Signals, guaranteeing accurate colour reproduction and pattern for immediate recognition from a distance. The vibrant, high-contrast colours are selected for maximum visibility in various weather conditions, from bright sunlight to overcast skies. Engineered for longevity, the flag is constructed to resist fading from UV exposure and to withstand the force of high winds and the corrosive effects of saltwater spray. Its construction features reinforced stitching on all edges to prevent fraying and a robust heading designed for secure and straightforward attachment to your vessel´s halyard.
