7 Shore-based facilities to support operation of the system

  7.1 The shore-based authority for those ships reporting via Inmarsat-C is the United States Coast Guard. The e-mail address to be used for this reporting will be provided well in advance of implementation of the systems through Notices to Mariners.

  7.2 The small percentage of ships that do not have Inmarsat-C capabilities will be required to contact the nearest Coast Guard communication station through appropriate communication channels. The United States Coast Guard maintains communication stations along the United States east coast. Information about these stations can be found in the GMDSS Master Plan (GMDSS/Circ.7) or National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Publication 117. Information received from the ships will be sent electronically to a central location for data storage, handling, and retrieval.
