The installation and maintenance of aids to navigation, waterway signs and light signals is supervised by Traficom, which also issues more detailed regulations concerning aids to navigation, waterway signs and light signals.
The installation of waterway signs and light signals in a public channel is the responsibility of the waterway manager. In areas outside of public channels, the party responsible for the installation of waterway signs and light signals is the municipality. Exceptions to this are restricted overhead clearance signs, overhead cable-crossing signs and cable and pipeline panels and their directional signs, the installation of which is the responsibility of the owner of the structure, overhead cable, cable or pipeline.
The waterway manager must notify Traficom of the installation of a waterway sign and a light signal along with their positioning data. Traficom must also be notified of the removal of a waterway sign or light signal or any changes to their information. These notifications can be submitted via Traficom’s e-services.
