Until further notice
The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
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.
Cancellation reference
