Mike
to November: I cannot go ahead.
November to Mike: Can I come alongside?

closer. You should keep away from me. Am I overheard?

Mike
to November: Keep well clear of me. You should maintain your present course.
November to Mike: I cannot maintain my present course. You are running
into danger. I am in distress.
Mike to November: I am in distress. I do not see any light. I am drifting.
November to Mike: What
damage have you received? I will go
ahead dead slow.
Mike
to November: I have lost sight of
you. I cannot steer without assistance.
I shall abandon my vessel unless you will remain by me, ready to assist.
November to Mike: Your
signal was received but not understood. I
offered assistance but it was declined.
Mike
to November: I am sinking. I am unable to proceed under my own power. I have
lost you on my radar.
November to Mike: I cannot give the assistance required. Can you proceed without assistance?
Mike
to November: You should give all
possible assistance.

go slow ahead.
Mike
to November: What is the course to reach
you?
November to Mike: I am unable to communicate.
Mike
to November: Are you confident as to
your position?
November to Mike: Nothing can be done until the time indicated.

to November: How long will it take you
to repair the damage? Is it likely that
you will refloat?
November to Mike: I cannot be refloated by any means available
now. The extent of the damage is still
unknown.
Mike to November: Are you in a condition to proceed? I can assist you.
November to Mike: I
cannot continue to search. It is dangerous
to remain in my present position.
Mike to November: I am
continuing to search.
November to Mike: It
is dangerous to stop.
Mike to November: I am stopped in a thick fog.
November to Mike: You
should keep going ahead. You should go
full speed ahead.

wish to communicate with you. What is

position is doubtful. I cannot maintain
my present course.

November to Mike: You are in a dangerous position. You should navigate with caution.
Mike
to November: You are overheard. I am in shallow water. Please direct me how to navigate.
November to Mike: I will go ahead dead slow. Let me know my bearings from you. I will flash my searchlight.
Mike
to November: I am dazzled by your
searchlight.
November to Mike: I will keep close to you during the night.
Mike to November: I cannot save my vessel; keep as close as
possible.
November to Mike: I
am steering towards you. I am on fire.
Mike to November: I am stopping my engines. Navigation is possible only with tug
assistance.
November to Mike: Shall
I take you in tow? I am ready to tow
you.
Mike
to November: Towing is very difficult.
November to Mike: I can only proceed at a slow speed. You
should anchor to await tug.
Mike
to November: I wish to anchor at
once. Will you lead me into safe
anchorage?
November to Mike: You
appear to be dragging your anchor. You should have your anchors ready for letting go.
Mike to November: You should not go ahead anymore. Do not pass ahead of me.
November to Mike: It is dangerous to approach close to my vessel.
You are going to
foul my anchor.
Mike to November: I am ready to get underway. Increase your
speed.
November to Mike: You
should remain where you are.
Mike to November: I
am exercising freedom of navigation.
November to Mike: You should stop, I am going to board you.
Mike
to November: No one is allowed on board.
November to Mike: Stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my
signals.
Mike
to November: You should proceed with
great caution.
November to Mike: Shall I maintain my present course? Landing here
is highly dangerous.
Mike
to November: This is the best place to
land. Can you assist?
November to Mike: Your distress signals are understood. I am proceeding to your assistance.
Mike
to November: Assistance is no longer
required by me. You should remain where
you are.
November to Mike: I am going
ahead.
