Your vessel’s MMSI number
You need to have your own MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number entered in
the NSO-II system to be able to receive addressed messages from AIS and DSC vessels.
It is also important to have the MMSI number entered to avoid seeing your own vessel as
an AIS target on the chart.
¼ Note: The Vessel message option in the alarm settings must be toggled on if any MMSI
message shall be displayed.
