Transcripts of real VHF communications
Real conversation, however, may differ very much from the standard concerning their overall format, details of exchange, structure and wording used in the turns, wording of moves or acts, and sometimes even terminology. For transcripts of real VHF communications see end of Section I. (TRANSCRIPTS OF REAL VHF COMMUNICATIONS).
For comparison purposes, transcripts of recorded versions of similar VHF conversations are shown below to study the difference between the ITU / IMO standards for marine communications and actual or real Maritime English used at sea. Study the differences in format, exchanges, turns and acts.
Note: Names of stations and other data are fictitious and bear no connection whatsoever to real names or data.

3. (Part 3) DISTRESS, URGENCY AND SAFETYPROCEDURES
3.1 INTRODUCTION
General
Distress communications should be conducted in accordance with the procedures outlined below. These procedures do not, however, prevent a station in distress from making use of any means at its disposal to attract attention to make known its position, and to obtain help.
Frequencies to Be Used
The first transmission of the distress call and message by a vessel should be on the distress, calling and answering frequency of Channel 16, 156.800 MHz (VHF). If no response is heard on this frequency, the use of any other available frequency in an effort to obtain assistance is permitted.
Control of Distress Traffic
The control of distress traffic is the responsibility of the vessel in distress or of the station that relays the distress message. These stations may, however, delegate the control of distress traffic to another station such as a Coast Guard Radio Station. During many distress situations, Coast Guard Radio Stations control distress traffic. Their powerful coastal transmitters can be readily heard by other ship and land stations over a wide area.
Distress Signal
Some years ago, the Canadian Coast Guard included " a person" when discussing the use of the MAYDAY signal in their film " IT'S GOOD FOR LIFE". Under the new ITU regulations for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) in the section entitled Distress Alert it states: " The transmission of a distress alert indicates that a mobile unit or a person is in distress and requires immediate assistance."
In radiotelephony, the spoken word for distress is MAYDAY. The distress signal indicates that the station sending the signal is:
1. threatened by grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance, or
2. aware that a ship, aircraft or other vehicle is threatened by grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance.
Distress Call
The distress call will only be sent on the authority of the person in command of the station. The distress call should comprise the following:
