3.9 Reception of distress alerts

 The satellite system should allow for addressing a maritime distress alert to a specific MRCC chosen by the ship’s operator and covering the area concerned, but should also provide for automatic routeing of manually initiated maritime distress alerts. Means should be provided to allow the MRCC to easily identify the system and specific mobile station from which an alert or other priority message has been received, to enable the MRCC to establish shore-to-ship communications with the ship concerned.
