Transmission of security alerts
In all cases, transmission initiated by security alert system activation points should include a unique code/identifier indicating that the alert has not been generated in accordance with GMDSS distress procedures. The transmission should include the ship identity and current position associated with a date and time. The transmission should be addressed to a shore station and should not be addressed to ship stations. The ship security alert system, when activated, should continue the ship security alert until deactivated and/or reset.
- Testing
The ship security alert system should be capable of being tested.
