7.4 ALL SHIPS CALL
The All Ships Call function allows contact to be established with other vessel
stations without having their ID in the individual calling directory. Also, priority
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 over-
due boat, debris in the water, loss of a navigation aid or an
important meteorological message. This call is the same as
saying Securite, Securite, Securite.
