What are Cancellation procedures for false distress Alert ?

  • Avoid sending false alerts, the DSC distress alert will be received at greater distances than the cancellation by the wider transmission.
  • If the sea area of receiving vessel is not mentioned then assume, vessel (it is in the same area as the alerting vessel).
  • Never (Under Any circumstances), attempt to use the DSC equipments to relay a relayed distress alert. Such action can initiate a chain of misleading relays and responses to several RCCs.
