Escape Route Markings - Safety and Protection
Photoluminescent escape route markings identify evacuation paths, stairways, doors, assembly stations and lifesaving equipment on ships. They remain visible during power failure by emitting stored light after exposure to normal lighting.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Escape Route Markings for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Orient directional symbols toward the escape direction and avoid obstruction by furniture, equipment or coatings. Follow the manufacturer's surface-preparation and adhesive instructions. |

| Maintenance Tips | Keep markings clean and unobstructed. Check adhesion, legibility, physical damage and photoluminescent performance during safety rounds and drills. Replace faded, damaged or detached sections and verify adequate charging illumination. |
