Reading this warning
- Survey operations
- A research or survey vessel is mapping the seabed or water column, often while towing equipment.
- Until further notice
- The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
- Position (degrees and minutes)
- How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
- Wide berth requested
- Keep well clear — or, when a distance is given ("TWO MILE BERTH REQUESTED"), at least that far away.
