To Administrations of Member States of the lTU
Subject: ITU maritime services database - ldentities for handheld VHF transceivers with
digital selective calling and global navigation satellite system
References: Circular Letter No. CM/15 dated 14 September 2006
Circular Letter No. CMILT dated 15 January 2008
Circular Letter No. CM/18 dated 28 November 2008
Recommendation ITU-R M.585-7
I wish to inform administrations that the structure of the ITU maritime services database and the
associated software have been further modified in order to incorporate information concerning the
"assignment of identities for handheld VHF transceivers with diSital selective calling and tlobal
navigation satellite system", based on the request of the ITU-R Working Party 58 meeting in July
2015.
The registration and the consequent retrieval of information concerning these devices via the ITU
Maritime mobile Access and Retrieval System (MARS) may facilitate search and rescue operations
in case of emergencies (especially outside national borders by Maritime Rescue Coordination
Centres).
ln order to allow for the submission of this additional optional information, the relevant
notification forms were revised as attached in Annexes 1 and 2. Detailed explanations, concerning
the fields to be notified are provided in Annex 3 (see also http://www. itu.int/en/lTU-
R/terrestrial/mars/Pages/ShipStationsSubmissionofdata.asox).
The change made to these forms, with respect to the previous one, is the addition of Field 34
(ldentities for handheld VHF transceivers). As a consequence, these forms cancel and replace the
previous notification forms annexed to the BR Circular letter CM/18 dated 28 November 2008'
you may wish to note that the ITU'5 Maritime Mobile Access & Retrieval System (MARS) website
has also been duly amended so as to permit for the search and retrieval of the recorded
data.
