🔍 Key Concepts

• SafetyNET as part of the GMDSS satellite system (Inmarsat) • What MSI (Maritime Safety Information) includes (NAVAREA, METAREA, SAR, etc.) • Difference between satellite MSI broadcasts and coastal / local weather broadcasts

💭 Think About

• Is SafetyNET mainly a local/coastal service or an international satellite broadcast service? • Which options mention MSI, and which options describe more local or voice-type services? • Does SafetyNET normally carry routine coastal weather or vessel traffic lists, or is it focused on standardized safety information to defined sea areas or groups?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the basic definition of SafetyNET in GMDSS documentation (what it is used for). • Check which services typically provide coastal weather and hourly NOAA weather (hint: think NAVTEX, VHF, MF/HF vs satellite). • Confirm whether SafetyNET can send Maritime Safety Information (MSI) and how it can be addressed (e.g., by area or to pre-defined groups of subscribers).
