Module 5 - Routine Calls
Marina And Harbour Calls
Marina and harbour calls need position and request. For example: who you are, where you are, your vessel length or berth request if relevant, and what you need next.
Avoid vague calls such as 'can you help us?' unless the situation is genuinely uncertain. The receiving station needs enough information to respond efficiently.
Key points
- Check the published channel before arrival.
- Call early enough to follow instructions safely.
- Keep the request specific.
- Read back important instructions such as berth, traffic, or waiting area.
