Example System
To provide uninterrupted coverage around the
British Isles, the UK NAVTEX system features
three remote transmitter sites centrally
controlled from the Maritime Rescue Co-
ordination Centre (MRCC) at Falmouth.

The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency,


MCA, provide the international NAVTEX
service on 518kHz and inshore reports using
the 490 kHz national frequency.

Maritime Safety Information (MSI), including


navigational warnings originating form the UK
Hydrographic Office and weather forecasts
and warnings issued by the UK Meteorological
Service, are sent electronically to the to the
MRCC where they are scheduled for
transmission by NAVTEX.

The remote sites, equipped with a pair of 1kW


NAVTEX transmitters and ICS NAVTEX
modems in main/standby configuration, are
linked via land-line to the control centre
providing online fault reporting and
diagnostics facilities.

The service has been running for many years


and has an exemplary availability and reliability
record.
