Message ID
|
6
|
Identifier for Message 25; always 25
|
Repeat indicator
|
2
|
Used by the repeater to indicate how many times a message has been repeated. default = 0; 3 = do not repeat any more
|
Source ID
|
30
|
MMSI number of the source station
|
Destination indicator
|
1
|
0 = Broadcast (no Destination ID field used)
1 = Addressed (Destination ID uses 30 data bits for MMSI)
|
Binary data flag
|
1
|
0 = unstructured binary data (no Application Identifier bits used)
1 = binary data coded as defined by using the
16-bit Application identifier
|
Destination ID
|
0/30
|
Destination ID (if used)
|
If Destination indicator = 0 (Broadcast); no data bits are needed for the Destination ID.
If Destination indicator = 1; 30 bits are used for Destination ID and spare bits for byte alignment.
|
Spare
|
0/2
|
Spare (if Destination ID used)

Description

Designated area code (DAC). This code is based on the maritime identification digits (MID). Exceptions are 0 (test) and 1 (international). Although the length is 10 bits, the DAC codes equal to or above 1 000 are reserved for future use
|
5-0
|
Function identifier (FI). The meaning should be determined by the authority which is responsible for the area given in the designated area code

Broadcast Maximum 112 bits
Addressed Maximum 80 bits
