Foghorns are loud acoustic devices used as a marine signal in heavy fog or low visibility conditions to avoid collision at sea. Here are frequently asked questions about foghorns near your location.
What is the purpose of foghorns?
The main purpose of foghorns is to provide audible warnings to ships at sea during periods of limited visibility due to fog, heavy rain or misty conditions. They help guide vessels safely by emitting consistent loud sounds that can be heard from far away.
How far can foghorns be heard?
The effective range of most modern foghorns is between 1 to 2 nautical miles depending on ambient noise levels and weather conditions. Well-maintained large-scale systems can transmit their distinct blasts over 5 nautical miles on a calm sea.
What do the different foghorn patterns mean?
Foghorns use distinctive patterns of long and short blast intervals to identify their location. A single blast every minute means the signal is coming from a ship. Two blasts every 2 minutes indicates a navigational buoy or coastal station.
How can I locate nearby active foghorns?
You can check nautical charts, consult with local maritime authorities or search online maps to identify active fog signal stations located along coastlines and waterways in your area. Many will have information signage posted at adjacent parks or viewing areas.
What regulations govern foghorns?
International Maritime Organization conventions set technical and operational standards for foghorns. National bodies like the US Coast Guard classify them, inspect stations routinely and can impose penalties for non-compliance with fog signal requirements and broadcast patterns.
