Requesting Towing Assistance (Non-Distress Call)
When a boater contacts the Coast Guard on channel 16 VHF-FM and the situation is
determined to be non-distress, the Coast Guard will offer to contact any assistance
provider (commercial or friend) the boater requests. If the boater has no preference, the
Coast Guard will issue a Marine Assistance Request Broadcast (MARB) to all local
commercial assistance providers approved by the Coast Guard. A provider will contact
the boater directly.
Distress Calls
Mayday
The US Coast Guard definition of a Mayday situation is 'A vessel or aircraft are in grave
and imminent danger and require immediate assistance'. Examples of “grave and
imminent danger” in which a Mayday call would be appropriate are fire, explosion, or
sinking.
Pan-pan
Pan-pan (from the French: panne - a breakdown) indicates an urgent situation of a lower
order than a "grave and imminent threat requiring immediate assistance", such as a
mechanical breakdown or a medical problem. The suffix
medico is added to indicate a
medical problem ( Pan-Pan medico , repeated three times).
Securite
Securite (pronounced 'Securitay') (from French securité ) indicates a message about
safety, such as a hazard to navigation.
Each of these
urgency calls is usually repeated three times (e.g. "Pan pan, Pan pan, Pan
pan").
