4.5.6 Distress relay calls on behalf of someone else (DROBOSE)
If another ship is in distress but is itself unable to make a distress alert, and the master of the
ship considers that further help is necessary, the distress relay call on behalf of the ship can be
transmitted using the "DSC drobose call" menu. In this case, compose a distress relay call format
by inputting the MMSI (if known), the ship's position and the time of position (if known), and the
nature of distress to send to a specific area or a coast station.
CAUTION
When sending a drobose call, do NOT press the DISTRESS key. Doing so may
cause a false distress alert.
(Drobose calls can be sent via the [Call] button displayed on the screen.)
