"This Manual provides a practical guide for anyone who is concerned with d'afting navigational warnings or with the issuance of meteorological forecasts and warnings under the Global Maritime d'stress and Safety System (GMDSS).

Maritime Safety Information (MSI) is promul'ated in accordance with the requ'rements of IMO resolution A.705(17), as amended. Navigational warnings are issued under the auspices of the IMO/International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS) in accordance with the requ'rements of IMO resolution A.706(17), as amended.

Meteorological forecasts and warnings are issued under the patronage of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). In order to achieve the necessary impact on the mariner it is essential to present timely and relevant information in a consistent format that is cl'ar, unambiguous and brief. Within this Manual, it is particularly intended to provide the "test" form of words for use in all types of navigational warnings and meteorological forecasts and warnings that are requ'red to be broad'ast in the English language. Note has been taken of the IMO Standard Marine Communication phrases (resolution A.918(22)), where appropriate.

This Manual cannot provide s'ecimen texts for every type of event which may occur. However, the principles'illustrated herein may be applied in general to d'afting messages for every kind of navigational warning and covering all types of hazards and for the issuance of meteorological forecasts and warnings.

Resolution A.706(17), as amended on the World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (MSC.1/Circ.1288), requ'res that ""All NAVAREA, Sub-Area and coastal warnings shall be broad'ast only in English in the International NAVTEX and SafetyNET services"". Where this Manual has been produced in languages other than English then the message examples given in section 7 are also provided in the English language in an additional'annex."
