  Instructions for reports

  1 Ships heading for the reporting area of the Canary Islands must send a report:

  • .1 on entering the reporting area; or

  • .2 immediately after leaving a port, terminal or anchorage situated in the reporting area; or

  • .3 when deviating from the route leading to the originally declared destination, port, terminal, anchorage or position “for orders” given on entry into the reporting area; or

  • .4 when it is necessary to deviate from the planned route owing to weather conditions, damaged equipment or when information under Q is required; and

  • .5 on finally leaving the reporting area.

  2 Ships are not required to send a report if, during normal sailing through the reporting area, they cross the area's boundary on other occasions apart from initial entry or final departure.

  3 On entering the CANREP reporting area, ships must report the fact to one of the MRCCs listed in Appendix 1, according to the following criteria:

  • (i) Ships that enter the CANREP reporting area at a position east of the meridian of longitude 015° 30´ W should notify the Las Palmas MRCC.

  • (ii) Ships that enter the reporting area at a position west of the meridian of longitude 015° 30´ W should notify the Tenerife MRCC.

  4 On leaving the CANREP reporting area, ships must report the fact to the same MRCC to which they reported on entry.

  5 Every report must begin with the word CANREP and a two-letter abbreviation enabling the type of report to be identified. Messages with this prefix will be sent free of charge and treated as URGENT.

  6 Reports must be in accordance with the following table. Sections A, B, C, E, F, G, I, P, T, W and X are compulsory for sailing plans, A, B, C, E and F for final reports, and A, B, C, E, F and I for deviation reports. The Q designation is included whenever a problem arises in the reporting area, be it defects, damage, deficiencies or circumstances, that affects normal navigation.
