4.4.5.2 Receiving a distress relay call
Normally, ship stations receive a distress relay call in the following situations.
・
When a coast station has transmitted an all ships or individual distress relay call.
・
When another ship station has transmitted a distress relay call to all ships, an individual
distress relay call, or a geographic distress relay call to a specific sea area.
As a general rule, the ship stations should respond via radiotelephony after receiving a distress relay
call. But if called individually by another ship station, and if allowed by a coast station, a distress
relay acknowledgement can be transmitted as follows. Further, a distress relay acknowledgement can
be composed from the log of the received distress relay message.
