While countries across Europe will have local laws that apply to ship and boat navigation, there is a common requirement worldwide for all leisure, commercial and military vessels to conform to the IMO International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. As Steve Austin, Senior Policy Lead at the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) explains: "The COLREGs apply to all vessels, there is no differentiation between coded and non-coded vessels. Should the whistles prove not to conform then they will need to be modified or changed."
"Whistles should conform to the performance in COLREGs, Appendix III and the appropriate parts of IEC 60945 to EN60945 which deal with the marine operating environment."
All Kahlenberg products meet or exceed these requirements. Many other new and currently installed sound signals are non-compliant and might be breaching maritime law and invalidating insurance cover.
Zero Series marine air horns
Kahlenberg marine air horns can be found on the largest of vessels worldwide, but you can obtain all of the renowned abilities of this manufacturer by purchasing a Zero Series air horn. This powerful choice of single, twin and triple marine air horns is IMO compliant for yachts and motorboats up to 20m (66ft) in length. These air horns are optimised to provide maximum volume for the smallest possible air compressors and their compact form factors make for easy installation on all types of motor yachts and sailing yachts.
Kahlenberg Zero Series air horns are constructed in extremely robust cast bronze and spun brass. They can be offered as standard in brass, high quality chrome plate or white powercoat; other finishes can be considered for series orders.

The total length is the same as the D-0A, at 576mm. The Zero Series T-0A operates at air pressure levels from 50psi to 200psi and requires 21.5 CFM at 100psi.
The T-0A is recommended for use with Kahlenberg's P449-24 24V DC Compressor Tank Kit; other options can be discussed.
