4.4.4 Distress relay calls on behalf of someone else
(Proxy distress calls)
If another ship is in distress but itself unable to make a distress call, and the master of the ship
considers that further help is necessary, the distress relay call on behalf of the ship can be transmitted
using "Proxy distress call" menu. In this case, compose a distress relay call format by inputting the
MMSI (if known), the ship's position and the time of position (if known), and the nature of distress to
send to all ships or a coast station.
CAUTION
When sending a proxy distress call
(DROBOSE)
, do NOT press the DISTRESS key.
Doing so will inconvenience local shipping and Rescue Centers.
(This proxy distress call can be sent via [Call] button displayed on the screen.)
