7 Shore-based facilities to support operation of the system

  7.1 The shore-based Authority is the United States Coast Guards Communications Area Master Station Pacific (CAMSPAC). CAMSPAC provides maritime distress communication services and safety and weather broadcasts to commercial and recreational mariners, and also provides secure voice communications and record message delivery services for all United States Coast Guard cutters, aircraft, and shore units. Additionally, CAMSPAC is one of the United States Coast Guards Pacific Areas (PACAREA) Continuity of Operations sites. CAMSPAC delivers contingency and interagency communication services for Incident Commanders by deploying a state-of-the-art transportable communications center. CAMSPAC is the Operational Commander of the United States Coast Guards Pacific Area Communications System, consisting of communication stations in Honolulu Hawaii, Kodiak Alaska, and remote facilities in Guam. There are approximately 150 people assigned to CAMSPAC.

  7.2 CORAL SHIPREP will use INMARSAT-C communications equipment. A computer server handles and sorts incoming reports and sends the return message. Incoming reports are text messages that arrive via either internet e-mail or telex. When the ship reporting system server receives a report, the server sends the ship a specific return message. Area co-ordinators will monitor and update the information to the server for inclusion in the outgoing message.
