NOTE TO USERS
The Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation began 1st July 1997, transmissions of maritime safety
information for the area under the Brazilian responsibility METAREA/NAVAREA V, using the International
SafetyNet -Inmarsat - C, part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. In these transmissions are
released Navigation Warnings and Weather Forecast and also bad weather warnings and SAR following
the time below:
Navigation Warnings : 0400Z and 1230Z
Weather Forecast : 0130Z, 0730Z, 1330Z and 1930Z
To receive these informations ships should have the EGC inmarsat - C Safetynet receiver. The users must
program their receivers to METAREA/NAVAREA V, selecting the East Atlantic Satellite - AOR - E for which
Embratel the Land station divulge the informations.
The use of the Safetynet makes efective in Brazil the resources of the GMDSS as set by the 1988
amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea - 1974 (SOLAS).
We ask the users to inform the quality of signal received on board.
