1 Introduction
1.1 Maritime Communication System

The Ship Com Server, as part of the Maritime Communication portfolio, is required by the Swiss
governmental “Federal Office for National Economic Supply“ (FONES) to ensure a satellite independent
communication with its vessels in times of crisis. Swisscom Broadcast is in charge of installation and
commissioning of the necessary equipment and the operating of the HF-network. The HF-network at
present is based on seven costal radio stations. The HF coverage varies depending on location, time and
ionosphere condition. In certain areas HF communication is not be possible at certain time.
To get the most value from the system, the connection of the Ship Com Server to a satellite terminal
and/or GPRS modem is recommended. With such a configuration the Ship Com Server automatically
chooses the most suitable transport media (HF, SAT, GSM), depending on network availability, amount of
data to be transferred and cost.

Operation Manual
Version 1.0
In general the Ship Com Server is connected to the existing GMDSS HF radio. In this case, please be
careful when using or reconfiguring the HF-Radio.
Don’t touch it without assuring that it doesn’t interfere with the Ship Com Servers required
configuration. In case of radio models, which are not suited for the use by the Ship Com Server
a separate radio is installed on the vessel.
Please check for the actual installation and configuration in your ship documentation!
Usage of Maritime Communication

Maritime Communication is mainly used for sending/receiving e-mails as well as receiving weather
forecasts for specific areas on regular intervals or immediate request. Please note: if your Ship Com
Server is configured for HF communication only, you should check the HF coverage in the area you are
sailing before using it in normal times.
Please refer also to the application “Crew Mail” which is optional available and offers a cost efficient
access to a crew’s personal emails.
1.2 Purpose of this document
The present document is the operation manual for the Ship Com Server. It covers all aspects of operation,
settings and maintenance.
The present manual assumes that the reader is familiar with the basic operation procedures on personal
computers and commonly used operation systems.

2 Important notice on radio operation
2.1 HF channel scanning process
The vessel’s radio is remotely controlled by the Ship Com Server in order to scan the frequencies of the
coastal radio stations (CRS). This allows the Ship Com Server to continuously detect HF channels
available for data transfer at a given time and location of the vessel.
Whenever the Ship Com Server is not busy by transferring data to or from shore, aforementioned
scanning process is permanently running. During this process the receiving (Rx) frequency changing is
visible at intervals between 5 and 15 seconds on the display of the connected HF radio. The transmission
(Tx) frequency doesn’t change.

6367.00

HF Radio display example
For proper working of the Maritime Communication functions make sure that:
 the HF radio is switched on and working properly

 the HF radio is not blocked or used by any other function
 any received DSC signal is cleared/acknowledged appropriately
 any changes on the settings of the radio are in line with the maritime communications
requirements. In case of uncertainties please check on your ship documentation or contact our
Customer Care Centre under: info.broadcasting@swisscom.com / Phone: +41 800 817 620

2.2 Scan Stop function
Whenever the HF radio needs to be used for other purposes or is required to be switched off, the HF
channel scanning process must be stopped by pressing the Scan Stop button. Otherwise the Ship Com
Server will interfere with any radio operation.
In sea areas where HF transmission is prohibited (eg. in ports or at tanker terminals) it is

compulsory to stop the HF channel scan.
Do not forget to restart the HF Scan function afterwards.
When the lamp on the Scan Stop button is steadily ON (permanent red light) the scanning process as
well as the HF transmission are stopped permanently.
In combination with certain radio models, the Ship Com Server is capable of automatically detect manual
operation on the HF radio (frequency change, DSC call or power off). In this case the button light
automatically starts flashing to indicate this state.

4.3 Additional information on e-mail operation
4.3.1 E-mail size
E-mails can be sent/received with attachments if they do not exceed the maximum allowed size. This
size depends on the path, which is used for the transfer. Over HF this is 125KByte per e-mail. Ship Com
Server’s default setting for communication over satellite or GSM allows size of up to 2000 Kbyte. This is
only applicable when your Ship Com Server is connected to GSM and/or Satellite Terminal. Please refer to
your ship documentation for information on actual configuration
4.3.2 Incoming mail filtering
Incoming e-mails on the Maritime Communication e-mail land-server pass through a mail filter to
prevent spam and potential dangerous content like viruses, etc.

Phone: +41 (0) 800 817 620 Version: 1.0
Operation Manual
Version 1.0
4.3.3 Paging
The land mail- and data server broadcasts every hour a paging list showing for each vessel whether there
are data or e-mails to be downloaded.
Paging list
If HF connection is available the Ship Com Server is receiving this paging list and checks for new
incoming e-mails pending ashore to be downloaded to the vessel. If any address matches with callsign,
then network connection is established to download pending e-mails.
When no HF signal is available the paging list cannot be received. In this case the land mail- and data
server is periodically checked by the Ship Com Server (standard = once per hour) via satellite or GSM for
new e-mails and other data.
If satellite and GSM aren’t connected or available, any new e-mail remains on the “Mail and
data server” until a HF connection can be established. The e-mail-sender receives an automatic
notice in a delay message after 12 and 24 hours.

4.3.4 Information privacy
Any content exchanged between the Ship Com Server and the mail server of Maritime Communication is
encrypted in a safe, state of the art method (AES-256). However, between the mail server of Maritime
Communication and other mail servers regular (i.e. unsecure) internet data transfer is used. In case your
e-mail content needs a very high degree of privacy, it is recommended that you use additional software
to provide end-to-end security.
4.3.5 Notification messages

Unlike ordinary e-mail services on the internet the transfer of e-mails to and from vessels depends on the
availability of an appropriate communication path, which is not available at all times. Therefore
Maritime Communication provides extra notification messages to the sender of an e-mail to inform him
about the delivery status of a sent e-mail
Message disposition notifications (MDN) which show that an e-mail has reached and been
read by the addressee are not supported by the Maritime Communication e-mail.
E-mails originating from ship

For each e-mail that has been transferred from vessel to shore the notification "Mail transfer SUCCESS"
indicates the successful transfer to the addressee. It contains details of the respective - and the used
communication path (HF, Satellite or GPRS). However, this notification does not guarantee that the final
addressee has received and read the message.
E-mails originating from shore
For each e-mail that has been transferred from shore to vessel a notification "Mail transfer SUCCESS"
indicates the successful transfer. It contains details of the respective e-mail and the used communication
path (HF, Satellite or GPRS) and possibly the position of the ship at this moment. However this
notification does not mean that the final addressee has received and read the message.
If the transfer of an e-mail to a vessel is delayed 12 or 24 hours respectively (from the moment
when it has reached the maritime.ch mail server) the sender receives a notification "Mail
transfer DELAY. Reason: Delay more than 12 h (/24 h)". He doesn’t have to resend the message.
If to the sender and the addressee on the vessel receive a notification "Mail transfer FAIL.
Reason: Mail too large", the e-mail exceeds the maximum allowed size for transfer to the
vessel. In this case the sender must take measures to reduce the size of the e-mail and send it
again.
