McMurdo NAVTEX receivers are in widespread use by the world’s

merchant ships, navies and recreational boaters.

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 of the Global Maritime Distress and

Safety System (GMDSS).

How does it Work?

NAVTEX transmissions are sent from localised 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.
