The Code for the Construction and Equipment of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units, 2009 (2009 MODU Code) provides an international standard for mobile offshore drilling units (MODU) constructed on or after 1 January 2012. It facilitates their international movement and operation and ensures a level of safety for such units and for personnel on board, equivalent to that required by the 1974 SOLAS Convention and the Protocol of 1988 relating to the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966, for conventional ships engaged on international voyages. This edition of the 2009 MODU Code incorporates the 2013 (MSC.359(92)), 2014 (MSC.384(94)) and MSC.387(94)), 2016 (MSC.407(96)) and 2017 (MSC.435(98)) amendments to the Code. For mobile offshore drilling units constructed before 1 January 2012, the provisions of the previous MODU Codes (1989 and 1979) apply, depending on the date of their construction.

"The purpose of the International Code of Signals is to provide ways and means of communication in situations related essentially to safety of navigation and persons, especially when language difficulties arise."[1] It has done this by first establishing a standardized alphabet (the letters A to Z, and the ten digits), along with a spoken form of each letter (to avoiding confusing similar sounding letters, such as 'b', 'p', and 'v'), and associating this alphabet with standardized flags. (See chart to the right.) Combinations of these alphanumeric characters are assigned as codes for various standardized messages. For instance, the master of a ship may wish to communicate with another ship, where his own radio may not be working, or the other ship's call sign is not known, or the other ship may not be maintaining a radio watch. One simply raises the Kilo flag (see diagram at the top), or sends the Morse Code equivalent (dash-dot-dash) by flashing light; this has the assigned message of "I wish to communicate with you." One of the elegant aspects of the ICS is that all of the standardized messages come in nine languages (English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish, Norwegian, and, since 1969, Russian and Greek). That the sender and receiver(s) are using different languages is immaterial; each language has a book with equivalent messages keyed to the same code. This is also useful in radiotelephony, or even when ships are within hailing distance, if there is no common language: a crewman on a burning ship yells "yuliett alfa vour", and a vessel coming to their aid knows exactly what they need: "material for foam fire extinguishers" (that is, the foaming agent). (See de:Flaggenalphabet for the German version of single-letter signals.) The code also covers procedural aspects (how to initiate a call, the format of a message, how to format date and time, etc.), how naval ships (which usually use their own codes) indicate they are using the ICS (by flying the co
