2 Steps to Signal a Mayday

  1. The Mayday screen on an Android phone, with shortcuts for man overboard, craft sinking and craft on fire

    Step 1

    Signalling a Mayday

    • 3 shortcuts: Man overboard, Craft is sinking, Craft on fire
    • Confirm life jackets for everyone and whether you are anchored
    • Confirm if you have a VHF radio
    • Just press ‘CONFIRM’ at any time if every second counts!
  2. The Mayday response screen showing a nearby vessel, Pioneer, on route, with chat and call buttons

    Step 2

    Waiting for response

    Once your signal is logged, the app records everyone in the area who signals to the police that they are willing to help. The app keeps you updated on progress: emergency services instantly have your information and will call you on your VHF, your phone or through the app chat.

    • You can call the police directly.
    • Use the chat to add information or talk to willing helpers, if the situation allows.
