The brief

Provision of SafetyNET II service to support the dissemination of Maritime Safety Information (MSI) through a Recognized Mobile Satellite Service (RMSS).

In accordance with Chapters IV and V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974, as amended, and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), the UK is required to promulgate MSI, including navigational and meteorological warnings and forecasts, through all approved RMSS providers.

As the NAVAREA I and METAREA I Coordinator, the UK is responsible for the ensuring the provision of internationally coordinated MSI services to vessels operating within its area of responsibility.

As an RMSS, the SafetyNET II service, provided by INMARSAT, forms an essential component of this capability and is required to enable the dissemination of MSI via the International Enhanced Group Call (EGC) service to vessels operating within GMDSS Sea Area A3.

This service supports the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) to implement the UKs obligations under SOLAS.
