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
commence with a '0'.
•
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.
•
An ATIS ID is only required in certain EU countries when navigating
some inland waterways. It is usually a different number to your
MMSI.
•
If you need to have the MMSI in the radio changed, the radio must
be taken back to your Simrad dealer.
