2. DSC DISTRESS COMMUNICATION

2.5Receiving Distress Alert from Other Vessel, Transmitting DIST ACK Signal

In no case is a ship permitted to transmit a DSC distress relay call upon receipt of a DSC distress alert on VHF channel 70.

Procedure when in area A1

1.When the FM-8800D/8800S receives a distress alert from another vessel, the ALARM LED (red) blinks and the FM-8800D/8800S sounds the distress alarm.

2.Silence the alarm by pressing the CANCEL key.

3.Wait up to five minutes until the DIST ACK signal from a coast station is received. Be prepared to follow the instructions of the coast station.

4.If you do not receive the DIST ACK signal, follow the flow chart shown on page 2-8 to determine if your vessel should acknowledge a distress alert.

If further DSC alerts are received from the same source and the ship in distress is beyond doubt in the vicinity, a DSC acknowledgement may, after consultation with an Rescue Co-ordination Center (RCC) or Coast Station, be sent to terminate the distress call.

Note 1:An asterisk (*) in a received distress alert message indicates error or unknown at the location marked with the asterisk.

Note 2:Do not send DIST ACK in response to receipt of distress alert having the nature of distress as “EPIRB emission”.
