There are several sound signals for a vessel underway in restricted visbility.

  • A power drivel vessel underway, making way- 1 PROLONGED Blast (4-6 seconds duration) Not to exceed every two minutes.
  • A power driven vessel underway NOT making way-2 PROLONGED every 2 minutes, not exceed two minutes.
  • A vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in maneuverability, a vessel towing, a vessel engaged in fishing, a sailing vessel & a vessel constrained by her draft (International only) 1 PROLONGED blast followed by two short blast (duration about 1 second per short blast) every two minutes, not to exceed two minutes.
  • A MANNED vessel being towed shall sound 1 PROLONGED followed by 3 SHORT blasts every two minute, not to exceed two minutes.

for power driven vessels over 12meters it's one long blast every 2 minutes
