SIGNALS FOR IMPOSING RADIO SILENCE
When distress transmissions are being made, silence on VHF CH 16 is automatically imposed. So, radio communication on VHF CH 16 should be monitored and controlled.

Mayday Prudonce: The controlling station will use following signal to impose radio silence during distress working. “The VHF CH 16 may be used also for restricted radio working. It is used by the responding authority when initial distress problems have been dealt with and it is expected that distress won't be over soon.”

Seelonce Mayday: The controlling station will use following signal to impose radio silence during distress work:

“The VHF CH 16 may only be used by the vessel in distress and the responding authority (and any other vessels those ask for assistance in handling the emergency). It is used by the responding authority when another vessel is interfering with distress on VHF CH 16.”

Seelonce Distress:Every other station would impose radio silence during distress working by. “The VHF CH 16 may only be used by the vessel in distress and the responding authority (and any other vessels those ask for assistance in handling the emergency). It is used by any vessel when another vessel is interfering with distress on VHF CH 16.”

Seelonce Feenee:means that distress is over and normal radio working can be resumed on VHF CH 16. In most cases it is used by a CRS.
