MMSI and ATIS ID
The MMSI is a unique 9 digit number and the ATIS ID is a 10 digit
number. They are used on marine transceivers that have DSC (Digital
Select Calling) functionality.

An MMSI remains with a vessel, even if the vessel is sold on.

An MMSI has 9 numeric digits (xxxxxxxxx). Your MMSI must not

A Group MMSI begins with '0' followed by 8 numeric digits
(0xxxxxxxx).
•
A Coast Station MMSI begins with 00 followed by 7 numeric digits
(00xxxxxxx).

By law, you are not able to change your MMSI once it is entered into
the radio. This is why there is the confirmation screen when entering
the MMSI.
