13 Best Practice for those Using the Service
13.1 In order to ensure that all necessary maritime safety information has been received, it is recommended that the NAVTEX receiver is switched on at least 12 hours before sailing, or preferably left on at all times.
13.2 Logging. The reception of weather forecasts or navigational warnings on NAVTEX does not need to be noted in the radio log; the NAVTEX printout (or the non-volatile message memory) satisfies the requirements of regulation 17 of chapter IV of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended.
