ALL SHIPS CALL
The All Ships Call function allows contact to be established with DSC equipped
vessels without having their MMSI in the individual calling directory. Also, pri-
ority for the call can be designated as Urgency or Safety.
URGENCY Call: This type of call is used when a vessel may not truly be in
distress, but have a potential problem that may lead to a dis-
tress situation. This call is the same as saying PAN PAN PAN
on channel 16.
SAFETY Call:
Used to transmit boating safety information to other vessels.
This message usually contains information about an overdue
boat, debris in the water, loss of a navigation aid or an impor-
tant meteorological message. This call is the same as saying
Securite, Securite, Securite.”
