- Derelict
- An abandoned vessel still afloat and drifting, with no one on board.
- Adrift
- Loose and moving with wind and current — a vessel, container, buoy, log or anything else no longer secured.
- 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.
- 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.
- Keep a sharp lookout
- A request to every ship in the area to watch for the vessel, people or object described.
- Assist if possible
- The second half of the standard rescue request: ships able to help are asked to do so.
- MRCC (Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre)
- A rescue coordination centre for maritime cases only, such as MRCC Fort-de-France or MRCC Vietnam.
- Inmarsat-C / SafetyNET
- The satellite system that carries NAVAREA warnings to ships at sea, and the terminal number rescue centres give for reports.
