Module 3 - Phonetic Alphabet & Prowords
Numbers and Positions
Numbers should be spoken clearly and grouped sensibly. Coordinates and MMSI numbers must be repeated accurately because one wrong digit can change the meaning completely.
In an emergency, position must be given in a form rescuers can use: latitude and longitude, bearing and distance, or a clear local description.
Key points
- Speak digits one at a time when needed
- Repeat critical numbers
- Use a usable position format
