What Is NAVTEX?
NAVTEX is a worldwide system for the broadcast and automatic
reception of maritime safety information (MSI) in English by means
of a narrow-band direct-printing telegraphy. NAVTEX provides
shipping with navigational and meteorological warnings and urgent
information.
NAVTEX is a component of the IMO/IHO worldwide Navigational
Warning Service (WWNWS) as defined by IMO Assembly resolution
A.706(17). It is included within the Global Maritime Distress and
Safety System (GMDSS). Since 1 August 1993, NAVTEX receiving
capability has become mandatory equipment for certain vessels
under the provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of
Life at Sea (SOLAS).
NAVTEX broadcast information is available to all seafarers, free of
charge.
