8 Alternative communication if the shore-based facilities fail

  8.1 NAVTEX Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to notify mariners of the temporary failure of the system and can provide mariners with basic information necessary to navigate safely through this area.

  8.2 For those ships reporting through INMARSAT-C, the standard protocol now used for such systems will be used to re-route incoming and outgoing communications through an alternative address and it is expected that this will minimize the system’s downtime, though a short delay may occur.
