About IALA Buoyage System
The International Association of Marine Aids to
Navigation Lighthouse Authorities.
IALA is a not for profit making international technical association. Established in 1957, it gathers together marine aids to navigation authorities, manufacturers and consultants from all parts of the world and offers them the opportunity to compare their experiences and achievements.
IALA is encouraging its members to work together in a common effort to harmonize aids to navigation worldwide and to ensure that the movements of vessels are safe, expeditious and cost effective and at the same time protect the environment.
Taking into account the needs of mariners, developments in techology and the requirements and constraints of aids to navigation authorities, a number of technical committees have been established bringing together experts from around the World.
The work of the committees is aimed at developping common standards workshops through publications of IALA Recommendations and Guidelines.
This work ensures that the mariners have aids to navigation which will meet their needs both now and in the future. IALA is therefore contributing to the reduction of marine accidents and to the increasing safety of life and property at sea, while protecting the marine environment.
IALA also encourages cooperation between nations to give developing countries the opportunity to make use of new aids to navigation techniques. More about IALA
