What is NAVTEX? NAVTEX is a system for the broadcast and automatic reception of maritime safety and weather information. NAVTEX provides shipping with navigational and meteorological warnings and urgent information through either on screen display or automatic printouts from a dedicated receiver. NAVTEX is a component of the IMO/IHO Worldwide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS) defined by the IMO. It has also been included as an element for the Global maritime Distress and Safety System.
How Does it Work? NAVTEX transmissions are sent from localized transmitting stations situated worldwide. The power of each transmission is regulated so as to avoid the possibility of interference between transmitters. Users can set their NAVTEX receivers to receive specific message types and reject others. Messages such as navigational and meteorological warnings and search and rescue information are non-rejectable to ensure that ships equipped with NAVTEX always receive the most vital information. Users can choose to receive information from the single transmitter that serves the sea area around their position, or from a number of transmitters.
NAVTEX Coverage NAVTEX messages are transmitted worldwide from local stations, the number of stations grows month by month. Information about all known NAVTEX stations can be found on the McMurdo website (www.mcmurdo.co.uk), details including name, position, range, and operational status.
