 CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW

1.1. Genaral
NAVTEX is an abbreviation for Navigational Telex and it is a Telex-broadcasting system of the coast stations
worldwide. NAVTEX of the coast stations broadcasts not only the defined ID, but also all the information on
navigational warnings, weather warnings, SAR and other marine warnings for navigational safety of those vessels
equipped with NAVTEX Receiver in the coasts.
Consisting of a part of WWNW of GMDSS monitored by IMO and IHO, NAVTEX with ‘Narrow Band Direct
Printing’ is a receiving system on board, using NAVTEX Receiver.

NAVTEX is designed to receive all the marine safety information service made with the letter broadcasting both in
English and in Local language on International Frequency: 518KHz and on Local Frequency: 490KHz or 4209.5KHz.
The services provided are mainly divided into 3(three) categories as follows ;
Navigational warnings such as iceberg movement-related safety.
Meteorological warnings such as typhoons and wave heights.
Search and Rescue activities by Coast Guard or Coast Station, including any urgent warnings.

1.2. Broadcasting

1.2.1. Frequencies in Use

IMO recommends that navigational warning, meteorological warnings, information on SAR and other information be
received from NAVTEX Stations and broadcast on 518KHz for English, on 490KHz or 4209.5KHz. Both 518KHz for
English and 490KHz for Korean have been used since March of 1999, but Japan uses 424KHz for their local language
exceptionally.

1.2.2. Location of Coast Stations and Broadcasting Time

The location of broadcasting stations basically depends on the transmitting output and the conditions of the electric
wave in the region. The stations are normally located in the range from some 250NM to 400 NM.
In reality, the major factors that decide the service region of the broadcasting stations are ‘Broadcasting Station ID’ and
‘Broadcasting Time Plan’.
It is decided by IMO Coordination Committee. As the broadcasting time of each station is every 4 hours, set not to
exceed 10 minutes, the broadcasting between the stations is not overlapped. Chapter 7 is covering the broadcasting time
of each station in neighboring countries.

3
 1.2.3. Transmission Mode
According to M.625-3 of ITU-R Recommendations, as NAVTEX broadcasting employs 5 Bit Code as ITA No.2 Code
System (that is used for international telegraphic transactions by CCITT Recommendations F.1), only 32 characters are
available.
As it is impossible to display Text, Figures, Marks, Shift Signals only with 32 codes, the system allocates the
conversion signals and the figure conversion to Shift Signals and additionally allocates 26 codes.
The 32nd code is used to for the Korean shift code. 5Bit ITA code is converted to 7Bit and then transmitted. All 7Bit
codes are composed of 3(three) “1(B)” and 4(four) “0(Y)” and used for checking any errors.
Besides, the system works on correcting any errors in the way of FEC(Forward Error Correction) that the same
characters are transmitted at the back of 4 characters(280mS) for comparison.

M E S S A G E DX Signal
M E S S A G E DX Signal
M E S M S E A S G S E A G E TX Character
M E S S A G E TX Character

*Notes: Such cases may occur that the conversion code(Letter, Figure, Korean) is not received and that the printing is
faulty despite normal receipt of data.

1.3. Message Type

The message type of NAVTEX broadcasting is as follows. In transmitting, the system transmits Message for matching
with the receiver after transmitting Phase signal over 10 seconds. The general message type is as below.

* Notes: For the Boldface-related messages, it is forbidden to exclude Display on the receiver or Printouts.

1.3.2. Numbering
Serial No. (B3B4) - Serial numbers from 01 to 99 are given in NAVTEX Message.
NAVTEX Coordinating Station gives these serial numbers. As a special figure, “00” is used only for significant texts
such as rescue and it is unconditionally displayed on LCD screen. In case NAVTEX receives any message with this
kind of special figure, it is designed to always print out whatever message it is. Therefore, the printing is strictly
controlled. Other serial numbers, excluding “00” are memorized in CPU and used to avoid printing repetitively any
completely received text.

1.3.3. End

NNNN : This means the end of any received text.(End of Message)

 CHAPTER 8. Supported interface sentences

8.1. IEC61097-6
C.1 NRX – NAVTEX received message
The NRX sentence is used to transfer the contents of a received NAVTEX message from the NAVTEX receiver to
another device. As the length of a single NAVTEX message may exceed the number of characters permitted in a single
NMEA 0183 sentence, many NRX sentences may be required to transfer a single NAVTEX message.

$--NRX,xxx,xxx,xx,aaxx,x,hhmmss.ss,xx,xx,xxxx,x.x,x.x,A,c--c*hh<CR><LF>

frequency table index 0-9 4
NAVTEX message code 3
sequential message id 00-99 2
sentence number 001-999
number of sentences 001-999 1
NOTE 1 The total number of sentences required to transfer the NAVTEX message from the NAVTEX radio receiver.
The first field specifies the total number of sentences used for a message, minimum value 1. The Sentence Number field identifies the order of this
sentence in the message, minimum value 1. All sentences contain the same number of fields. For efficiency it is recommended that null fields be used
in the additional sentences where the data is unchanged from the first sentence (this applies to fields 4 through 12).
NOTE 2 The sequential message identifier provides a unique identifier for each NAVTEX message represented by a group of sentences. Though the
message code (field 4) contains a NAVTEX message serial number, there are special cases when the message serial number is set to 00 and has a
different meaning or when the same message code can occur more than once. When these conditions occur, the sequential message identifier can be
relied upon to uniquely identify this NAVTEX message from other NAVTEX messages with the same message code.
NOTE 3 The NAVTEX message code contains three related entities. The first character identifies the transmitter coverage area and the second
character identifies the type of message. Both these characters are as defined in Table I of Recommendation ITU-R M.625-3, combination numbers
1-26. Transmitter identification characters are allocated by the IMO NAVTEX Co-ordinating Panel; these characters and the meanings of the
message type characters are described in the NAVTEX manual (IMO publication 951E). The remaining two characters are restricted to numerals
with a range of 00 to 99 and represent a serial number for each type of message. The value of 00 is a special case and not considered a serial number.
See 4.3.5 for interpretation of special case value of 00.
NOTE 4 The frequency indicator identifies the frequency that the NAVTEX message was received on:
0 = not received over air (eg test messages)
1 = 490 kHz
2 = 518 kHz
3 = 4209,5 kHz
4 through 9 are reserved for future use
NOTE 5 The total number of characters indicates the expected size of the message body sent in this sequence of NRX sentences. It does not include
the additional overhead for reserved characters found in table 1 of this IEC 61162-1.
NOTE 6 Status ‘A’ is used for syntactically correct message reception. Status ‘V’ is used for syntactically incorrect message reception, e.g. end
characters NNNN missing.
NOTE 7 The message body may contain reserved characters as defined in IEC 61162-1.

C.2 NRM – NAVTEX receiver mask
This command is used to manipulate the configuration masks that control which messages are
stored, printed and sent to the INS port of the NAVTEX receiver.
$--NRM,x,x,hhhhhhhh,hhhhhhhh*hh<CR><LF>

message type mask 4

transmitter coverage area mask 3
frequency table index 2, 1 to 9
function code 1, 0 to 9

NOTE 1 The function code is used to further identify the purpose of the sentence. The meaning of the function code is as follows:
0 – request messages for the given mask
1 – set/report the storage mask
2 – set/report the printer mask
3 – set/report the INS mask
4 to 9 – reserved for future use
NOTE 2 The frequency indicator identifies the frequency that the NAVTEX message was received on:
1 = 490 kHz
2 = 518 kHz
3 = 4209,5 kHz
4 through 9 are reserved for future use
NOTE 3 The transmitter coverage area mask is defined as a 32 bit hex field where the least significant bit represents transmitter
coverage area ‘A’, the next bit is ‘B’ and so on up to bit 25 which is ‘Z’. Bits 31 through 26 are reserved for future use and are set to zero.
To select a transmitter coverage area, its corresponding bit should be set to one. To deselect a transmitter coverage area its
corresponding bit should be set to zero.
NOTE 4 The message type mask is defined as a 32 bit hex field where the least significant bit represents message type ‘A’, the next bit
is ‘B’ and so on up to bit 25 which is ‘Z’. Bits 31 through 26 are reserved for future use and are set to zero. To select a message type its
corresponding bit should be set to one. To deselect a message type its corresponding bit should be set to zero.

When another device (for example an INS) wishes to set one or more of the bit masks it sends one or more NRM sentences to the
NAVTEX receiver. When another device wishes to determine the current values of the bit masks it sends a query sentence to the
NAVTEX receiver as follows:
$--CRQ,NRM*hh<CR><LF>

On receiving this query, the NAVTEX receiver will respond with one NRM sentences for each mask type and frequency combination that
it supports. For example, a NAVTEX receiver which supports separate storage, printer and INS masks for each of three receiver
requencies will
return a total of nine NRM sentences in response to the above query.
Example usage:
$INNRM,2,1,00001E1F,00000023*57

This example specifies that message identifiers ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘F’, received from transmitter areas ‘A’ to ‘E’ and ‘J’ to ‘M’ on 490 kHz should
be sent to the printer port when they are received. Note that this command sets the printer mask for future use; there is no immediate
output generated as a result of receiving this command.
Example usage:
$INNRM,0,2,00001E1F,0FFFFFFF*21
This example requests that all currently stored messages of all message types, received from transmitter areas ‘A’ to ‘E’ and ‘J’ to ‘M’ on
518 kHz should be immediately returned to the requesting device as a series of NRX sentences. Note that this command does not
update any of the stored masks.
