Emergency Calling
(1) About 505 Emergency Calling
Inmarsat has introduced 505 Emergency Calling for the FBB terminals.
In a time of distress, a seafarer need only dial "505" and press either the offhook ( ) or # key- selected for
its similarity to "SOS" - to immediately contact a Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre (MRCC).
Please note that 505 Emergency Calling is NOT GMDSS compliant. 505 Emergency Calling can not be used
if other phone or fax is used. Finish using phone and fax before dialing “505”.
