Description

The Canadian Code Zulu (Z) Flag is part of the International Maritime Signal Flags used in Canada.
It features a diagonally divided yellow, blue, red, and black design, easily visible at sea.
When flown alone, it signals “I require a tug” or indicates a vessel is maneuvering with difficulty.
The flag is essential for alerting nearby vessels to provide assistance or give way.
It follows the International Code of Signals, recognized worldwide by mariners.
Canadian vessels display it to ensure safe navigation and prevent accidents.
Proper use communicates the vessel’s needs clearly to all nearby mariners.
Today, the Canadian Code Zulu (Z) Flag remains a vital symbol of maritime communication, caution, and safety.
