    This document defines signals and lights used by various types of vessels to indicate their navigation status or constraints. A vessel flying a NUC signal cannot maneuver and must be given extra clearance. RAM signals indicate a vessel with limited ability to change course due to its large size or cargo. CBD signals have permission from port control to deviate from their course. Fishing vessels engaged in fishing operations and sailing vessels under sail or motor use additional signals to identify their activity and constraints.
