MMSI and ATIS ID
The user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) is a unique nine
digit number. It is used on marine transceivers that are capable of
using DSC (Digital Selective Calling).
•
An MMSI remains with a vessel, even if the vessel is sold on.
•
An MMSI has 9 numeric digits (xxxxxxxxx). Your MMSI must not
commence with a ‘0’.
•
A Group Call ID begins with ‘0’ followed by 8 numeric digits
(0xxxxxxxx).
•
A Coast Station MMSI begins with 00 followed by 7 numeric digits
(00xxxxxxx).
•
By law, you are not able to change your MMSI once it is entered into
the radio. This is why there is the confirmation screen when entering
the MMSI. If you need to have the MMSI in the radio changed, the
radio must be taken back to your B&G dealer.
•
An ATIS ID is only required in certain EU countries when navigating
some inland waterways. It is usually a different number to your
MMSI.
