Reading this warning
- DNC (Digital Nautical Chart)
- A reference to one of the regions of NGA's Digital Nautical Chart, used to tell the reader which charts a warning affects.
- Underwater operations
- Divers or remotely operated vehicles are working below a vessel that cannot easily move out of the way.
- Date-time group (DTG)
- A compact UTC timestamp — day, hour and minute followed by Z — such as 201500Z for the 20th at 15:00 UTC.
- Cable operations
- A ship is laying, burying or repairing a submarine cable, usually along a stated route.
- Track line joining
- Introduces a route through a series of positions — a cable route, a tow's track or a survey line.
- 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.
- CANCEL THIS MSG
- The warning's own expiry: a line telling the reader when the message cancels itself.
