What kind(s) of broadcasts are not available through SafetyNETTM?
• SafetyNET as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) • What Maritime Safety Information (MSI) includes (navigational warnings, meteorological warnings, SAR information, etc.) • Difference between general safety broadcasts and traffic/administrative information
• Think about which types of messages SafetyNET is specifically designed to deliver under GMDSS: are they safety-of-navigation and distress-related, or routine port/traffic information? • Which of the listed choices sounds more like a regular operational/administrative service (e.g., via VHF, NAVTEX, or coast radio) rather than a satellite safety broadcast? • Ask yourself: Which of these would ALL ships in an ocean region need to receive automatically, even when far offshore?
• Verify what is included under Maritime Safety Information (MSI) as defined for GMDSS. • Check which items are clearly distress, urgency, or safety-related and which are more about routine operations or port/traffic management. • Confirm which services are normally associated with Inmarsat SafetyNET vs. those typically handled by coast radio stations or VTS (Vessel Traffic Services).
