7-A-054: SAFETYNET™-1: Operations

7-54H1: Where NAVTEX cannot be feasibly established, what system can be implemented to provide an automated service in coastal waters to receive MSI?

SafetyNET™

AMVER

VHF DSC

ARQ SITOR



7-54H2: What action should a GMDSS Radio Operator take when SafetyNET™ Distress or Urgency messages are received by the vessel's EGC receiver?

Aural and visual alarms are activated, and require manual deactivation.

No immediate action is required, as an audible tone will be generated at the beginning and end of the transmission and a paper printout of the message will be generated.

No immediate action is required by the operator, since the transmission will be automatically acknowledged by the receiving vessel.

A periodic alarm tone will be heard until the radio operator prints the message from the unit's memory.
