Daily
Check In
Once on the roll call,
we call you every day until you make landfall.
It is important that you check in every day. Failure to do so could cause unnecessary concern.
Vessels are called in the order in which they joined, except for single handed vessels, which are called first.

When transmitting your report over SSB, use
single digits. For example:
- Say “three two degrees one six minutes south, not “thirty two sixteen south”
- Say “two seven zero degrees true” not “two hundred and seventy true.”
