Weather Services
in the test data it is labelled "Radio Weather Service" yet it includes the internet, so it is more generic here
supported through
- RT
- internet
- NAVTEX
But isn't this its own specification? ( S-124 Navigational Warnings), how will this NOT overlap?
Radio-Facsimile
In the test data this is just listing Map Areas and a schedule for the notices.
Search and Rescue (SAR)
- contact info

Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS)

QUESTIONS/Observations
- Is it the goal to create a standardized XML format for this data?
- It seems this will overlap with S-124 Navigational Warnings
- There is a portion of the S-127 Traffic Management test data that seems appropriate here:
Information Services that include:
- Marine accidents
- Entry restrictions
- Weather conditions
- Current fishing vessel ops
- Schedule of large vessel transits
