Last known position: The most recent confirmed position of a missing vessel or person — the starting point of a search.
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.
RCC / JRCC (Rescue Coordination Centre): The centre that organises search and rescue in its region; warnings ask ships to send their reports there.
