Ships on voyage to and from the Western European Reporting
Area shall send reports:
-
.1 on entry into the Reporting Area; or
-
.2 immediately on departing from a port, terminal
or anchorage within the Reporting Area; or
-
.3 when they deviate from routeing to their original
declared destination port/terminal/anchorage or position "for orders"
given at time of entry into the Reporting Area; or
-
.4 when deviation from planned route is necessary
due to weather or equipment malfunction or a change in the navigational
status; and
-
.5 when finally exiting from the Reporting Area.
Ships need not report if, while on normal passage routeing during
transit of the Reporting Area, the boundary of the Reporting Area
is crossed on other occasions apart from the initial entry and final
exit.
