A distress alert may be defined as: ① In the terrestrial radio communication bands, a Digital Selective Calling using the distress call format; or ② In the satellite service, a message using the distress format for relay through space stations. The distress alert must include the identification of the station in distress and its position. Other information such as the nature of the distress and type of assistance required or anything else which may facilitate rescue may be included in the alert. Passage 14 Ship-to-shore distress alerts are used to warn Rescue Coordination Centers (RCC) that a vessel is in distress. This alerting is routed via LES using satellite transmissions from MES or EPIRB. Alternatively, using the terrestrial service, alerts from ship stations or EPIRBs are made to coast stations. Ship-to-ship alerts are used to warn other vessels in the vicinity of the distressed vessel of the distress situation using DSC techniques in the MF and VHF terrestrial bands. The HF band may also be used. Passage 14 1. What does t e word unit refer to? A. Ship. B. Aircraft. C. Other vehicle. D. All of the above. 正确答案：D Passage 14 2.
