Reading this warning
- 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.
- Wide berth requested
- Keep well clear — or, when a distance is given ("TWO MILE BERTH REQUESTED"), at least that far away.
- Cancellation reference
- A line that cancels an earlier warning by its number, such as CANCEL HYDROLANT 1085/12.
- NAVAREA
- One of the 21 ocean areas of the World-Wide Navigational Warning Service, each with a coordinator that broadcasts long-range warnings.
