Station License & Radio Safety Certificate
The first and foremost piece of documentation that the GMDSS
operator should be concern with is the station license. All radio
stations must have a station license. The current license must
be posted at the principal control point of each station. A
station license gives a vessel its International Radio Call Sign
(IRCS), Selcall (Selective Calling) number, and its Maritime
Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number. These identities are
issued by the flag state but are regulated by the ITU. MMSI
and Selcall numbers will be discussed in later chapters, but
Call Signs are important to know about the combination of
characters and numbers to form them.

Station License & Radio Safety Certificate
Call signs in the international series are formed as indicated in
the ITU Article 19 of the International Radio Regulations. The
first two characters shall be two letters or a letter followed by a
digit or a digit followed by a letter. The first two characters or in
certain cases the first character of a call sign would constitute
the nationality identification of the vessel.

The following is how call signs are formed by
following ITU regulations
Land and Fixed Stations
two characters and one letter, or
two characters and one letter followed by not more than three
digits (other than the digits 0 and 1 in cases where they
immediately follow a letter).
As far as possible, the call signs of fixed stations consist of:
two characters and one letter followed by two digits (other
than the digits 0 and 1 in cases where they immediately follow a
letter).

Ship Stations
two characters and two letters, or
two characters, two letters and one digit (other than the
digits 0 or 1).
ship stations employing only radiotelephony may also use a
call sign consisting of:
two characters (provided that the second is a letter) followed
by four digits (other than the digits 0 or 1 in cases where they
immediately follow a letter), or
two characters and one letter followed by four digits (other
than the digits 0 or 1 in cases where they immediately follow a
letter).

Aircraft stations two characters and three letters.
Ships survival craft stations
the call sign of the parent ship followed by two digits
(other than the digits 0 or 1 in cases where they immediately
follow a letter).

A single MID has been allocated to each country. A
second MID can be assigned once the MID first or
subsequently allocated is more than 80% exhausted and
the rate of assignments is such that 90% exhaustion is
foreseen.
A listing of MIDs assigned to each country is provided in
table 1 to Appendix 43 of the ITU Radio Regulations.

The particular MID is not required to be in the group
identity but could represent only the flag of the group or
group leader. It has been recommended to choose a
group leader and base the group MMSI on the MMSI of
the leader, so as to prevent duplicate group MMSI
numbers in the area.

FleetNET is a service which enables you to reach a group of
ships, e.g. all the ships of the same company, with one single
transmission from the shore. Company (fleet) messages are
broadcast using FleetNET service and will be only received
by vessels whose INMARSAT equipment is programmed
according to the company's own Enhanced Network Identity
(ENID). ENID number consists of 5 digits.
FleetNET messages are messages addressed to a dedicated
group of mobile stations such as all ships from the same
company or all ships from the same country (having the same
nationality).

In telex communication the original identification number of
the NBDP/Telex system was a SELCALL number. This is
short for selective calling. Each station was assigned a
number along with its radio call sign. SELCALL numbers are
arranged as follows:
Coast Station SELCALL : 4 digit number,
Example; stanbul Trk Radio is 4360
Ship Station SELCALL : 5 digit number,

To ensure connectivity is maintained with the correct coast /
ship station or telex network subscriber, Automatic Answer
Backs (AAB) are normally exchanged at the beginning and
end of each communication. Each telex terminal and telex
subscriber ashore has its own individual AAB for
identification purposes. This AAB is programmed into the
terminal equipment and may be actuated by depressing the
HERE IS short-cut key on the keyboard. The AAB is also
transmitted in response to interrogation from other SITOR or
Telex terminals.

The Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN) is the subscriber'snumber, which is used for calling a terminal. It performsexactly the same function as a telephone number. To obtainan IMN and activate an Inmarsat station it is necessary tocontact the Point of Service Activation (PSA).
The PSA is an entity that has taken out a contract withInmarsat for the activation and maintenance of records andaccounts of Inmarsat terminals. A PSA in some cases can bea one-stop shop for service activation, terminal equipmentprovision and customer support.

The PSA may not necessarily operate within the countrywhere the vessel is registered, but the PSA must abide by theappropriate national regulatory framework. The Fleet terminalmust meet all national licensing requirements.
The PSA is responsible for the enforcement of any nationallicensing requirements.
Instant recognition by the SES is possible, given the distinctidentification number system for each satellite system. Forsystems B,C and M it includes MID after the initial digitfollowed by any 5 digits (usually combined with MMSI). Thefleet system indentification begins with 76 or 60 followed byany 7 digits.
