■ Distress call
A distress call should be transmitted if in the opinion of
the Master, the ship or person is in distress and re-
quires immediate assistance.
A distress call should include the ship’s position and
time. They are included automatically when their data
in NMEA0183 ver. 3.01 format is applied to [GPS] con-
nector. When no data is applied, input them, if possible.
A distress call some times called as a “MAYDAY call.”
