Regulations Before and After COLREG 1972

Before “COLREG 1972” (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea), low-pitched tones were often used for smaller vessels. However, the principle of reserving low tones for large vessels was not strictly enforced. The IMO regulations now reserve very low tones exclusively for the largest ships. For middle-sized and smaller vessels, there are broader frequency options available.

Signal Preferences and Frequency Range

IMO regulations prioritize signals that maintain audibility even at a distance. Vessels over 200 meters (656 feet) should use whistles with frequencies of 130 Hz or lower. These frequencies ensure effective communication and compliance with maritime safety standards.

Installation Instructions for MKT 150/90

Mounting the MKT 150/90

Secure the MKT 150/90 whistle with four M12 bolts to an outrigger or similar construction. Ensure the structure is stable to prevent any operational issues.

Cleaning the Supply Pipe
Before connecting the supply pipe to the whistle, blow the pipe thoroughly clean. This step is crucial to avoid any functional troubles caused by debris or contaminants in the pipe.

Installing a Primary Filter
If the pipeline above deck exceeds 100 meters (328 feet), install a primary FILTER TP 15/2 at the base of the mast. This filter protects the whistle from water condensate and rust particles, ensuring reliable operation.
