Reading this warning

- Adrift
- Loose and moving with wind and current — a vessel, container, buoy, log or anything else no longer secured.

- How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
- 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.
- Inmarsat-C / SafetyNET
- The satellite system that carries NAVAREA warnings to ships at sea, and the terminal number rescue centres give for reports.
- CANCEL THIS MSG
- The warning's own expiry: a line telling the reader when the message cancels itself.
