INTRODUCTION :

If you boat with any frequency in summer months, you can probably recite a pan-pan call by heart.
“Pan-Pan, Pan-Pan, Pan-Pan, hello all stations. This is a marine assistance request for a 19-foot
center console, adrift at 41 34.52 North, 70 28.45 West in the middle of Vineyard Sound. Any
mariners wishing to render assistance should contact the Coast Guard on Channel 16.”

Pan-pan is the international urgency call indicating that someone aboard a boat is declaring an
urgent situation that is not an immediate threat to either the vessel or the people on board. Often,
a pan-pan is issued by the Coast Guard on behalf of a smaller vessel that needs towing assistance
but, on occasion, you may hear a vessel make a pan-pan call on its own.
