Introduction Of Marine Navigation Light And Signal Light System Navigation light is an independent part of ship lighting system, and it is an important light signal to ensure safe navigation at night.

Navigation lights consist of foremast lights, main mast lights, tail lights, starboard lights and anchor lights, which are used to indicate the status and position of ships during the night voyage.
