(except the MMSI) at any time, should the need arise. Please check that the number displayed
is correct before proceeding. If the number is incorrect click the 'No' button to cancel
programming of the MMSI:
2.2.12 Click the 'Yes' button if the MMSI is correct
2.2.13 The static data tab will be updated to show the newly programmed vessel information. The
MMSI number will be displayed with a grey background to indicate that it has been programmed
