Description

The Canadian Code Papa (P) Flag is part of the International Maritime Signal Flags used in Canada.
It features a blue design with a white square in the center, making it easily visible at sea.
When flown alone in harbor, it signals “All personnel return to ship; the vessel is ready to sail.”
At sea, it can also indicate a request for pilot assistance.
The flag follows the International Code of Signals, ensuring standardized meaning worldwide.
Canadian vessels display it to communicate readiness and coordinate safe departures.
Proper use helps prevent confusion and promotes efficient maritime operations.
Today, the Canadian Code Papa (P) Flag remains an important symbol of ship readiness and communication.
