Transmitting an All Ships Call
When sending an All Ships message, no DSC acknowledgement is required or
possible. Obviously, an All Ships call is not addressed to a specific station and so
does not need the details of the called party; it does, however, give the choice of
Safety or Urgency messages.
An
Urgency
message is used when safety is threatened but there is no
imminent danger. The verbal information transmitted after an Urgency
message is prefixed ‘
PAN PAN
’
A
Safety
message concerns important navigational or meteorological
information. The verbal information transmitted after a Safety message is
prefixed ‘
SECURITÉ SECURITÉ SECURITÉ’
.
