TIMES
Times quoted are in Universal Time (UT) unless otherwise stated, and are reckoned from 0000 (midnight) to
2400. The term UT is gradually replacing Greenwich Mean Time (GMT); the abbreviation UT (GMT) will be used
to indicate the general equivalence of the two terms. GMT will be retained as the term for the time within Standard
Time Zone O (Zero).

GEOGRAPHI CAL POSI TIONS

Geographical positions of radio aids to navigation are normally given by the controlling authority. In sorne cases
they are in accordance with the ADMIRALTY Chart. lf bearings are taken to radio aids, it should be remembered
that, in sorne cases, the positions quoted are only approximate.

BEARINGS
Bearings are given from seaward and refer to the true compass.

NAMES
Names in ADMIRALTY List of Radio Signals are spelt in accordance with the principies and systems approved
by the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use.
A second name may be given in parentheses in the following circumstances:
1. if the retention of a superseded rendering will facilitate cross-reference to related publications;
2. if, in the case of a name that has changed radically, the retention of the former one will aid recognition;
3. if it is decided to retain an English conventional name in addition to the present official rendering.

DIAGRAMS
Diagrams will be updated by weekly Notices to Mariners when significant changes are required. Otherwise
diagrams will be corrected for the next new edition.

TELEPHONE NUMBERS
National Direct Dialling (NDD) prefixes are shown in brackets (O). This digit should only be dialled when calling
from within that country.

REPORTING CHANGES
In the interests of safe navigation, mariners and others are invited to notify the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) of
any information which would be useful towards the updating of ADMIRALTY Charts and Publications. Early advice,
with supporting particulars of newly discovered dangers, the establishment of, or changes to any aids to navigation
is specially requested. Copies of forms H102, H102a and H102b, designed for such notification, are contained in
the Weekly Editions of ADMIRALTY Notices to Mariners. Additional copies can be obtained free of charge from the

THE BALTIC SEA:
(1) Route T: Vessels with a draught of 11 m or more, and vessels irrespective of size
or draught, carrying a shipment of irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level
radioactive wastes (INF-cargoes) should use the pilotage services locally established
by the coastal states between Gedser to Skagen or vice-versa.
(2) T he Sound: Loaded oil tankers with a draught of 7m or more, loaded chemical
tankers and gas carriers irrespective of size, and vessels carrying a shipment of
irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level radioactive wastes (INF-cargoes),
when navigating The Sound between a line connecting Svinbadan Lt and Hornbél:lk
Harbour, and a line connecting Skaniir Harbour and Aflandshage (the southernmost
point of Amager lsland) should use the pilotage services locally established by the
Governments of Denmark and Sweden.
(3) Vessels are recommended to consult the following IMO Resolutions with regard to
Deep Sea Pilotage in the Baltic Sea:
(a) Resolution A.159 (ES.IV) - Recommendation on pilotage
(b) Resolution A.1081(12) - Recommendation on the use of adequately qualified

undertaken by Deep Sea Pilots licensed by a Pilotage authority of a Baltic Coastal
State.
(2) North Sea Pilots may pilot inbound vessels up to; or outbound vessels from; the
Skaw-Vinga line, but under no circumstances anywhere inside this line.
(3) North Sea Pilots will leave a vessel at the Skaw-Vinga line, unless the vessel is
using the services of the appropriate Baltic States Pilot for all movements within these
areas and then only if the vessel's intended stay in the relevan! areas does not exceed
five days.
(4) Where due to unforeseen circumstances a vessel's intended stay exceeds five
days, or a vessel ceases to use the services of a Baltic States Pilot for any part of

PROCEDURE:
(1) Reports to the VTS Authority should be made using VHF voice transmissions.
-
However, vessels are encouraged to fulfil certain reporting requirements of the
reporting system through the use of AIS, and by non-verbal means such as e-mail or
similiar, prior to entering the reporting area.
(2) Vessels entering the BELTREP operational area shall submit a report when
crossing !he report line or on departure from a port or anchorage within the operational
area.
(3) The report shall be drafted in accordance with the standard reporting forma! shown
in REPORTING.
REPORTING:
(1) Vessels entering the VTS area shall submit a report when crossing the report line
or on departure from a port within the VTS area.
(2) Verbal reporting is not required when a vessel passes the BELTREP sector line al
latitude 55 º 35'·00N. However, sector change of VHF Channel is required.
(3) Further reports should be made whenever there is a change in navigational status
or circumstance.
(4) Vessels are required to maintain a continuous listening watch in the BELTREP
area on the relevant VHF sector channel and VHF Ch 16.
(5) The use of corree! and updated AIS information can accomplish the reporting
requirements for designators A, 8, C, E, F, G, 1, O and W.
- (6) To minimize the time reporting on the VHF channels and to avoid interference
with essential navigational duties, vessels are encouraged to forward the reporting
requirements for designators L, P, T and X by e-mail or similar prior to entering the ship
reporting area. Such non-verbal partial reports must also state designators A and H.
Reporting designators L, P, T and X prior to entry using mobile phone is also accepted
as a means of communication.
(7) A vessel which fulfils the reporting requirements of the BELTREP mandatory ship
reporting system by the use of correct and updated AIS information and prior non­
verbal means must, as a mínimum, carry out a VHF voice transmission to communicate
the name of the vessel (part of designator A), air draught and deadweight tonnage
(designator U) and the report line of entry to !he Great Belt VTS when actually entering
the area. The same procedure must be followed befare departing a port or leaving an
anchorage in the BELTREP area.
(8) Designator O or R, if applicable, shall at all times be given using VHF voice
transmission to Great Belt VTS.
(9) Previously forwarded reports can be submitted at any time after entering the
Danish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and until in reach of VHF range of Great Bel!
VTS at an approximate distance of 20 n miles from the BELTREP area. As the Great

or weather ar ice conditions.
(b) Navigational assistance can be given in the VTS area following the procedure
under subsection 2 of section 6 in the Finnish Vessel Traffic Service Act.
Navigational assistance can be given in fairways and in areas where traffic is
controlled by radar. Navigational assistance is given in the VTS area when an
inward-bound vessel approaches the Pilot boarding position. The vessel can
also be given navigational assistance in another VTS area on request.
(c) Navigational assistarice given by the VTS Authority may include the following:
(i) lnformation on the vessel's course and speed
(ii) lnformation on the vessel's position relative to the fairway axis or waypoint
in accordance with the VTS sailing plan
(iii) lnformation on the positions, identities and intentions of surrounding traffic
(iv) Warnings to individual vessels
(3) Traffic Organisation Service:
(a) Vessel traffic can be managed with permanent traffic arrangements in order
to prevent dangerous situations and congestion as specified in the decision to
establish a VTS.
(b) For the purpose of organising vessel traffic:
(i) Vessels must ask the VTS Authority for permission to depart from a port
or anchorage and to enter into a VTS area. Permission can be denied if
deemed necessary by the VTS Authority due to dangerous situations or
congestion in the fairway area.
(ii) Vessel traffic in the VTS area is organised in terms of distance. Traffic
separation can be initiated when there is a special transport travelling
along the fairway, severa! vessels are travelling in the same direction or
there are vessels whose routes intersect or meet. The separation distance
is 0·5 n miles.
(iii) Vessels must request the VTS Authority to designate an anchorage
area and if deemed necessary by the VTS Authority, anchorage can be
prohibited.
(c) The following permanent traffic arrangements are used regionally in VTS areas:
(i) Passing and overtaking prohibition
(ii) Clearance far departure from port or anchorage and for entry into a VTS
area
(iii) Separation of traffic in terms of time or distance
(d) The procedures regarding clearance far departure are used in ali ports and
anchorage areas. Clearance for entry into a VTS area is given to inward-bound
vessels approaching the VTS area.
(e) Clearance for departure from a port or anchorage or for entry into a VTS area
can be denied for the time it takes until the fairway is free, if an outward-bound
or inward-bound vessel intends to enter a fairway where passing and overtaking
is prohibited and where there are already other vessels.
(f) The clearance for departure and for entry into a VTS area must be adjusted to
the traffic separation, when traffic separation is applied.

EURO PEAN CO UN CIL DIRECTIVE 2002/59/EC:
The European Council Directive 2002/59/EC (as amended) relates to vessels over
300 gt and any vessel carrying dangerous or polluting goods bound for or leaving EU
ports. Such vessels should report to the relevan! port authority at least 24h in advance
through the Portnet system.
PORT STATENOTIFI CATIONS:
(1) Under European Union (EU) Directive 2009/16/EC, the EU has introduced
a reporting system to be complied with for all vessels arriving or leaving a port or
anchorage within the EU Region.
(2) The operator, agent or Master shall notify, 72h in advance of arrival in port, if
vessels are eligible for an expanded inspection (3 days pre-arrival notification).
(3) Vessels subject to expanded inspections are:
(a) AII vessels with a high risk profile
(b) Any passenger vessel, oil tanker, gas or chemical tanker or bulk carrier, older
than 12 years of age
(4) Directive 2009/16/EC also recalls the obligation to notify, 24h in advance, for
vessels bound for a Member States port (24h pre-arrival notifications) or at the lates!,
at the time the vessel leaves the previous port, if the voyage time is less than 24h
or if the port of call is not known or it is changed during the voyage, as soon as this

overtaking is prohibited, but vessels are requested to agree among themselves on how
to meet safely.
( 4) When the use of the channel is restricted due to the wind situation and vessels

 SHIP REPORTING SYSTEMS

DESCRIPTION:
(1) The AMVER system, operated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG .s
a maritime mutual assistance organisation which provides importan! aid :�::
development and coordination of Search and Rescue (SAR) efforts in many offs '=
areas of the world. Merchant vessels of all nations making offshore voyages 2.'l:
encouraged to send movement reports and periodic position reports to the USCG
Operations Systems Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia, through selected rae
stations or lnmarsat. lnformation from these reports is entered into a computer wh
generates and maintains dead reckoning positions for vessels while they are w �
the plotting area. Characteristics of vessels which are valuable for determining SAfl
capability are also entered into the computer from available sources of informat,or
Appropriate information concerning the predicted location and SAR characterist1cs o'
each vessel known to be within the area of interest, is made available upon reques;
to recognised SAR agencies of any nation, or person in distress, for use during an
emergency. Predicted locations are only disclosed for reasons connected with marit1me
safety.
(2) In case of emergencies, all distress messages must be sent to the nearest RCC
NOT the AMVER Center.
AMVER PARTICIPATION INSTRUCTIONS:
(1) AMVER is a worldwide voluntary vessel reporting system operated by the USCG
to promote safety of lite and property at sea. AMVER's mission is to quickly prov1de
Search and Rescue (SAR) authorities, on demand, accurate information on the positior
and characteristics of vessels near a reported distress. Any merchant vessel on a
voyage of greater than 24 hours to anywhere on the globe is welcome to participate
in AMVER. In general, international participation is voluntary regardless of owner s
nationality or vessel's flag, voyage origin, or ports of call.
(2) According to US Maritime Administration (MARAD) regulations, the following
vessels must report and regularly update their voyages and positions to the AMVER
Center:
(a) United States flag merchant vessels of 1000 gt or more, operating in foreign
commerce.
(b) Foreign flag vessels of 1000 gt or more, for which an lnterim War Risk lnsurance
Binder has been issued under the provisions of Title XII, Merchant Marine Act.
1936.
(3) In accordance with Title 47, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Ch. 1, Sec 80.905.
United States vessels which transport more than six passengers for hire, operated
more than 200 n miles from the nearest land must participate in the AMVER system
while engaged on any voyage where the vessel is navigated in the open sea for more
than 24 hours.
(4) lnformation voluntarily provided by vessels to AMVER is kept strictly confidential.
and is protected by the Coast Guard. lt will be released only for safety purposes.
(5) AMVER's greatest use is in providing SURface PICtures, or SURPICs, to Rescue
Coordination Centres (RCCs). A SURPIC either lists latitude/longitude or provides a
graphical display of vessels near the position of a distress. lt is used by RCCs to
coordinate the efforts of merchant vessels and other resources to provide the best and
most timely assistance possible to distressed vessels or persons at sea.
WHAT AND WHEN TO REPORT TO AMVER:
(1) The following reports should be sent:
(a) Sailing Plan, containing complete routeing information, should be sent within
a few hours before, upon, or within a few hours after departure.
(b) Position Report should be sent within 24 hours of departure, and
subsequently at least every 48 hours until arrival. The destination should also
be included in Position Reports.
(c) Deviation Report should be sent as soon as any voyage information changes
which could affect AMVER's ability to accurately predict the vessel's position
Changes in course or speed due to weather, ice, change in destination, or any
other deviations more than 25 n miles from the original Sailing Plan should be
reported as soon as possible.
(d) A rrival Report should be sent upan arrival at the port of destination.
(2) At the discretion of the Master, reports may be sent more frequently than the above
schedule; far example, in heavy weather or under other adverse conditions.
(3) AMVER also needs information that describes communications equipmen
lnmarsat numbers, radio watch schedule, medical personnel on board, and so forth
This information is collected separately, retained in the automatic data processing
system, periodically validated, and used only for search and rescue purposes.
COMMUNICATION METHODS FOR FILING AMVER REPORTS:
(1) The following methods are recommended for ships to transmit AMVER reports:
(a) Electronic mail (e-mail):
(i) lf a ship already has an inexpensive means of sending e-mail to an interne!
address, this is a preferred method. E-mail may be sent via satellite ar
via HF radio, depending on the ship's equipment and arrangeme ts
with communications providers ashore. Ships must be equipped w1th a
personal computer, an interface between the computer and the sh1p s
communications equipment, and the appropriate software.
(ii) The e-mail path on shore to the AMVER Center is essentially free, but the
communications service provider may still charge from ship-to-shore
(iii) Messages may be sent to amvermsg@amver.org ar amvermsg@amver.

SHIP REPORTING SYSTEMS

(b) AMVER/SE AS "Compressed Message" (lnmarsat C via Telenor}:

(i} Ships equipped with an lnmarsat Standard C transceiver with floppy
drive and capability to transmit a binary file (ship's GMDSS lnmarsat-C
transceiver can be used}; an IBM-compatible computer (not part of the
ship's GMDSS System} with hard drive, 286 or better PC, VGA graphics;
an interface between them; and the AMVER/SEAS software (available free
of charge from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
NOAA}, may send combined AMVER/Weather observation messages free
of charge via Telenor Land Earth Stations at:
001 Atlantic Ocean Region-West (AOR-W} - Southbury
101 Atlantic Ocean Region-East (AOR-E} - Southbury
201 Pacific Ocean Region (POR) - Santa Paula
321 lndian Ocean Region (IOR} - Aussaguel
(ii} AMVER address: NOAA phone number entered in the "addressbook" (for
further information on how to find the NOAA phone number and to correctly
setup the addressbook, see the instruction sheet for your specific brand of
lnmarsat C transceiver}.
(iii} AMVER/SEAS software can be downloaded from the NOAA SEAS website
or requested from:
Telenor Satellite Services, lnc.
11O 1 Wootton Parkway
Rockville, MD 20852
See CONTACT DETAILS.
(c} HF Radiotelex:
(i} AMVER reports may be filed via the HF radiotelex service of USCG
Stations.
(ii} Further information on how to send AMVER messages by this method
is provided al the USCG Navigation Center, website: http://www.navcen.
uscg.gov/cgcomms/call.htm
(d} HF Radio: AMVER reports may also be filed by HF radio at no cost via USCG
contractual agreement with the following companies:
(i} Mobile (WCL}
(ii) Marina Del Ray (KNN)
(iii) Seattle (KLB)
(e} Telex: AMVER reports may be filed via telex using either satellite (code 43)
or HF radio. Ships must pay the tariffs for satellite communications. Telex is a
preferred method when less costly methods are not available.
(f} Fax:
(i) AMVER reports may be faxed to the USCG Operations Systems Center
(OSC}, in Martinsburg, WV
(ii) In the event other communications media are unavailable or inaccessible,
AMVER reports may be faxed directly to the AMVER Computer Center.
However, this is the least desirable method of communications, since
it involves manual input of information to the computer via electronic
processing.
(iii) Do not fax reports to the AMVER Maritime Relations Office in New York,
since it is not staffed 24 x 7, and relay and processing of reports is delayed
pending normal (Mon-Fri) business hours.
(g) CW (Morse Cede}: Due to the decline in its usage, the number of coast stations
supporting it, its high cost, potential for error. and the mandatory carriage of
upgraded GMDSS communications capabilities, ships are discouraged from
using this medium.

AMVER MESSAGE UNE DEFINITIONS:
(1) The AMVER line: AII AMVER reports must begin with the AMVER line. Report
type is one of the following 2-letter codes:
(a) SP - Sailing Plan
(b) PR - Position Report
(c) DR - Deviation Report
(d) FR - Arrival (Final) Report

Example:
AMVER/report type//
AMVER/PR//

(2) The A line is required in all reports to identify the vessel submitting the report.

Example:
Nvessel name/Call sign//
NSEA WOLF/KNFG//
362
 SHIP REPORTING SYSTEMS

(3) The B line identifies the time associated with the position given in the C ar G lines
of the report. AII times in B, 1, K and L lines should be expressed in UTC as a 6-digit
date-time group followed by the letters Z, GMT ar UTC, and optionally by a 3-letter
abbreviation far the month.

Examples:
B/Time//
B/2309002//
B/2309002 DEC//
B/230900GMT//
B/230900UTC//

(4) The C line is used in Position and Deviation Reports to give the vessel's current
position (as of the time given in the B line) in latitude and longitude.
(a) Latitudes are always expressed as a 4-digit group followed by N (North) ar
S (South). The first 2 digits are interpreted as degrees and the second 2 are
interpreted as minutes.
(b) Longitudes are always expressed as a 5-digit group followed by E (East) ar
W (West). The first 3 digits are interpreted as degrees and the second 2 are
interpreted as minutes.
(c) lt is importan! to use ali digits every time, filiing leading digit positions with
zeroes as needed, to ensure accurate interpretation of position information.
(d) Position data may appear in the C, G, 1 and L lines.

Example:
C/latitude/longitude//
C/4653N/02820W//

(5) The E line is used to report the vessel's curren! course (as of the time in the B
line) in degrees true as a 3-digit number.

Example:
E/curren! course//
E/230//

(6) The F I i ne is used to report the vessel's estimated average speed over the ground
far the remainder of the voyage as a 3-digit number representing tenths of knots. This
is a very importan! line to report as this speed is used far AMVER's dead reckoning
computations unless a different speed is provided far a specific leg of a voyage (see L
line). lf no speed is given, AMVER wili use an assumed speed. 11 is importan! to use all
digits when specifying a speed to ensure accurate interpretation.

Example:
F/estimated average speed//
F/126//

(7) The G line is used to report the port of departure by name and position. 11 is
importan! to give the position of the port as the name alone does not always uniquely
identify the port.

Example:
G/port of departure/latitude/longitude//
G/LIVERPOOU5325N/00300W//

(8) The I line is used to report the vessel's next port and ETA. As with the G line, it
is importan! to include the port's position as weli as its name. The ETA al the next port
is also importan!, especially when a US por! is the destination. In ali cases, the ETA is
compared with AMVER's computed ETA as a check on the accuracy and consistency
of all voyage route information.

Example:
I/destination/latitude/longitude/ETN/
I/NEW YORK US/4042N/07401W/0512302 MAR//

(9) The K line is used to report a vessel's actual arrival in the immediate vicinity of
its destination.

Example:

SHIP REPORTING SYSTEMS

(1O) The L line is used to report route information. These lines are the most complex
lines in an AMVER report but they are critica! to the success of the AMVER system.
Complete route information should be provided in ali Sailing Plans and Deviation
Reports. As many L lines as needed may be used to describe the vessel's intended
route. However, detailed route information caused by manoeuvring over short
distances near coasts should not be included. In these cases an approximate route
using fewer turn points and the "COASTAL" navigation method should be provided. Ali
L lines except the last one in the report require the navigation method to the next turn
point, latitude and longitude of the next turn point, and the ETA al the next turn point.
The final L line in a Sailing Plan requires only the navigation method from the las! turn
point to the destination.
(a) Navigation Method: The navigation method is required on ali L lines. 11 is the
method used to get from the last specified position to the one specified in this L
line. There are 3 types of navigation methods recognised by AMVER:
(i) Rhumb Line (RL)
(ii) Great Circle (GC)
(iii) Coastal (COASTAL) (The "COASTAL" method should be used only to
indicate when an approximate route near a coas! is used in place of the
many turn points required to describe the vessel's true track. However,
enough turn points should be provided to keep AMVER's plot of the
vessel's position within 25 n miles of the vessel's true position. The
"COASTAL" method should never be used for majar portions of a route).
(b) Leg Speed: The leg speed is an optional item on L lines. 11 is the anticipated
average speed over the ground on the leg which ends al the position given in
the same L line. Leg speed should be used whenever the anticipated average
speed on a leg is significantly difieren! from the anticipated average speed for
the voyage as reported in the F line. As a general rule, a difference of 1 knot or
more should be considered significan!.
(c) Latitude: This is the latitude of the next turn point. 11 is required in ali L lines
except the last one in the report.
(d) Longitude: This is the longitude of the next turn point. 11 is required in ali L
lines except the last one in the report. The final position in a route is assumed
to be the port of destination.
(e) Port or landmark name: This is an optional item in L lines. 11 should be used
only when it will make the route easier to understand. 11 should not be used in
place of a position.
(f) Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA): This is required in any L line where the
vessel intends to lay over al the position given in the same L line.

Examples:
Unavigation method/leg/speed/latitude/longitude/port or landmark name/ETNETD//
URU125/2548N/07710W/ABACO/111200Z//
UGC/3600N/00600W/161430Z//

UGC/0857N/07934W/PANAMA CANAU211800Z/221300Z//
URU/ (final L line only)

(11)The M line is optional and is used to provide information on the bes! way to
contact the vessel quickly in the event of a distress al sea.

Examples:
M/WSUNMN// (Coas! Radio Stations monitored)
M/INMARSAT 32341231O// (lnmarsat number)

(12) The V line is an optional line used to report the medical capability aboard the
vessel during the voyage. The codes used are:
(a) NONE (no medically trained person onboard)
(b) NURSE (if a trained nurse is onboard)
(c) PA (if a physician's assistant or paramedic is onboard)
(d) MD (if a medical doctor or physician is onboard)

Examples:
V/medica! personnel aboard this voyage//
V/NONE//
V/NURSE//
V/MD/NURSE//

(13)The X line is used for any English language amplifying comments or remarks the
vessel may wish to send AMVER regarding its curren! voyage, e.g. change of vessel
name, flag or owners etc.

Examples:

 SHIP REPORTING SYSTEMS

(14)The Y line is used to request relay of the AMVER report to certain other ship
reporting systems, currently MAREP, JASREP, AUSREP and CHILREP.

Examples:
Y/relay instructions//
Y/JASREP// (vessel requesting AMVER to relay the report to JASREP)
Y/JASREP/MAREP// (vessel requesting AMVER to relay the report to JASREP and
MAREP)
Y/AMVER// (vessel reporting to another reporting system such as JASREP has
requested relay of the report to AMVER)
Y/AMVER/MAREP// (vessel reporting to another system has requested relay of the
report to both AMVER and MAREP)

(15)The Z line must be the last line in every AMVER report, as it is used by the
AMVER computer to signal the end of the report.

Example:
Z/end of reporV/

AMVER VOYAGE REPORT TYPES:

(1) There are tour types of AMVER Reports: Sailing Plan, Position, Deviation and
Arrival Reports.
(2) Reporting Formal: Each AMVER message consists of report lines. There are 15
types of lines. The first line in every report begins with the word "AMVER" followed by
a slash (/), a two letter code identifying the report type, and ends with a double slash
un. Each remaining line begins with a specific letter followed by a slash U) to identify

un.
the line type. The remainder of each line contains one or more data fields separated by
single slashes (/). Each line ends with a double slash Ali reports should end with
an end-of-report line (Z line).
(3) Reporting Data: AMVER participants need to be familiar with the tour types of
reports. Report identifiers are as follows:
(a) AMVER/SP// denotes Sailing Plan.
(b) AMVER/PR// denotes Position Report.
(c) AMVER/DR// denotes Deviation Report.
(d) AMVER/FR// denotes Arrival Report.
(4) Examples of the above reports are as follows:

(a) Sailing Plan: A Sailing Plan should be sent within a few hours befare, upon,
or within a few hours after departure. lt must include enough information to
predict the vessel's actual position within 25 n miles at any time during the
voyage, assuming the Sailing Plan is followed exactly. Sailing Plans require
A, B, E, F, G, 1, L and Z lines. The M, V, X and Y lines are optional (Y line is
required for US vessels).

(b) Position Report: A Position Report should be sent within 24 hours of

departing port and at least once every 48 hours thereafter. The destination
should be included, at least in the first few reports, in case AMVER has not
received the Sailing Plan information. Position Reports require A, B, C, E, F and
Z lines. The l line is strongly recommended. The M, X and Y lines are optional
(Y line is required for US vessels).

SHIP REPORTING SYSTEMS

(e) Deviation Report: Deviation Reports should be sent whenever the

vessel deviates significantly from its Sailing Plan. Other situations in which
Deviation Reports should be sent include, but are not limited to: Change in
destination, diverting to evacuate a sick or injured crew member, diverting to
avoid heavy weather, any change of route (as, for example, change based on
recommendations from a vessel routeing service), stopping to make repairs
or await orders, change in anticipated average speed of one knot or more etc.
Deviation Reports require the A, B, C, E, F and Z lines. The I and L lines
are required if destination or route changes. The I line is always strongly
recommended, even when not required. The M, X and Y lines are optional (Y
line is required for US vessels).

(d) Arrival Report: Arrival Reports should be sent upan arrival in the immediate
vicinity of the destination port, such as at the sea buoy or Pilot Station. This
report properly terminales the voyage in AMVER's computer and ensures the
vessel will not appear on an AMVER SURPIC until its next voyage. Arrival
Reports require the A, K and Z lines. The X and Y lines are optional (Y line is
required for US vessels).

Example:

See diagram IN THE GULF OF FINLAND MANDATORY SHIP REPORTING SYSTEM
(GOFREP) and Vessel Traffic Services entries of Estonia, Finland and Russia.
NOTE:
AII positions in WGS84 datum.
Reporting System (GOFREP)
AREA:
(1) The Mandatory Ship Reporting System In the Gulf of Finland covers the
international waters in the Gulf of Finland E of the Western Reporting Line and
Russian Territorial Sea W of longitude 26 º 30'-00E.
(2) In addition, Estonia and Finland have implemented Mandatory Ship Reporting
Systems to their national water areas outside VTS areas. These Reporting Systems
provide same services and make same requirements to shipping as the system
operating in the international waters.
(3) The Mandatory Ship Reporting System in the international waters of the Gulf of
Finland and the Estonian and Finnish National Mandatory Ship Reporting Systems,
are together referred to as GOFREP and their area of coverage respectively as the
GOFREP area.
(4) In the Gulf of Finland Mandatory Ship Reporting System area is divided into three
areas of monitoring responsibility with a borderline. This borderline is referred to as the
Central Reporting Line and consists of two parts:
(a) The western part is drawn through the midpoints of the separation zones of the
Traffic Separation Systems oH K6pu, Hankoniemi, Porkkala and Kalbadagrund
to position 59 º 59'·15N 26 º 30'-00E.
(b) The eastern part is drawn from position 59 º 57'-00N 26 º 30'-00E to position
60 º 05'·00N 26 º 30'·00E and further through the borderline of the Russian
Territorial Sea and the outer limit of the Finnish Exclusive Economic Zone until
position 60 º 08'-90N 26 º 49'-00E. From this position, the Central Reporting Line
continues through the limit of the Exclusive Economical Zone (EEZ) of Finland
and the EEZ of Russia to position 60 º 10'·30N 26 º 57'·50E, thence to position
60 º 10'·30N 27 º 10'·90E, thence to position 60 º 12'-00N 27 º 17'·60E.
(5) Monitoring of the GOFREP area N of the Central Reporting Line is the responsibility
of Helsinki Traffic and S of the Central Reporting Line in the area W of longitude
26 º 30'-00E is the monitoring area of Tallinn Traffic, and E of longitude 26 º 30'-00E S of
the Central Reporting Line is the monitoring area of Saint Petersburg Traffic. Thus:
(a) Vessels entering the mandatory ship reporting area N of the Central Reporting
Line report to Helsinki Trattic
(b) Vessels entering the mandatory ship reporting areas S of the Central Reporting
Line E of longitude 26 º 30'-00E report to Saint Petersburg Traffic
(c) Vessels entering the mandatory ship reporting area S of the Central Reporting
Line W of longitude 26 º 30'·00E, or from responsibility area of Saint Petersburg
Trattic, or from Viiinameri, report to Tallinn Traffic
(6) The Western Reporting Line is defined as the line joining the following positions:
