(Eritrea, 625) 7 South America (Peru, 760) 8 Handheld VHF transceiver with DSC and GNSS 9 Devices using a free-form number identity: Search and Rescue Transponders (970yyzzzz) Man overboard DSC and/or AIS devices (972yyzzzz) 406 MHz EPIRBs fitted with an AIS transmitter (974yyzzzz) craft associated with a parent ship (98MIDxxxx) navigational aids (AtoNs; 99MIDaxxx) Notes Station Identity Formats Ship station identities The 9-digit code constituting a ship station identity is formed as follows: MIDxxxxxx where MID represent the Maritime Identification Digits and X is any figure from 0 to 9. If the ship is fitted with an Inmarsat B, C or M ship earth station, or it is expected to be so equipped in the foreseeable future, then the identity should have three trailing zeros: MIDxxx000 If the ship is fitted with an Inmarsat C ship earth station, or it is expected to be so equipped in the foreseeable future, then the identity could have one trailing zero: MIDxxxxx0 If the ship is fitted with an Inmarsat A ship earth station, or has satellite equipment other than Inmarsat, then the identity needs no trailing zero. Group ship station call identities Group ship station call identities for calling simultaneously more than one ship are formed as follows: 0MIDxxxxx where the first figure is zero, and X is any figure from 0 to 9. The particular MID represents only the country assigning the group ship station call identity and so does not prevent group calls to fleets containing more than one ship nationality. Coast station identities Coast station identities are formed as follows: 00MIDxxxx where the first two figures are zeros, and X is any figure from 0 to 9. The MID reflects the country in which the coast station or coast earth station is located. Group coast station call identities Group coast station call identities for calling simultaneously more than one coast station have the same format as individual coast station IDs: two leading zeros, the MID, and the four digits. They are formed as a subset of coast station identities, as follows: 00MID0000 for any coast station using the MID 009990000 for any VHF coast station (regardless of MID) US Coast Guard stations use a non-standard MMSI: 003669999 - any US Coast Guard Base station Note that administrations in other countries may use different formats.
