4.2.7.3. Storm signals

The meteorological department senels storm warnings (by mean of high priority telegrams) to port officers whose ports are likely to be affected by adverse weather.

Port officers display visual storm signals, on conspicuous masts specially meant for this purpose. The signals consist of black coloured cones and cylinders by day and of red and white lights by night. The port officers also send word to fishing vessels and country craft in their respective ports.
