Emergency wreck buoy [1] (fr )
is under consideration by IALA to be implemented, but currently under testing (thus no INT-1 code).
Its purpose is to mark temporary dangers to navigation, such as new ship wrecks in high density traffic areas. The need of a special mark like this was highlighted after the Tricolor accident in English channel, where even if marked with not less than 5 Cardinal buoys, and guarded by a dedicated guard vessel, no less than 3 other ships collided with the semi-submersed wreck.
