Reading this warning

DNC (Digital Nautical Chart)

Cable operations
A ship is laying, burying or repairing a submarine cable, usually along a stated route.

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.
