Pratique

Pratique is the license given to a ship to enter port on assurance from the captain to convince the authorities that he/she is free from contagious disease.

A ship can signal a request for "Pratique" by flying a solid yellow square-shaped flag. This yellow flag is the Quebec flag in the set of phonetic code flags. http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/872/20082390.JPG
