  1. Quite the opposite.

    The yellow flag, ‘Q' means "My vessel is 'healthy' and I request free pratique." (Free pratique = health clearance)

    When entering a port the Q flag is flown until free pratique is granted and only certain persons are allowed to board until it is hauled down. These would normally include the inward pilot and customs and immigration officials. In some ports, the pilot is authorised to grant free pratique so the vessel is cleared before berthing.
