MMSI Listing

Being familiar with the operation of your DSC-VHF will improve your chance of getting help for a DISTRESS or EMERGENCY call.
Add your MMSI number & vessel name to this list so others will recognize you. Then store the numbers in your DSF-VHF call directory.
To be included on this list, submit your data to the web master. This page is printable for use on your boat. See notes at bottom.

Mayday Rescue on Lake Wabamun – Making It Safer for Boaters in 2023.

Currently, the only system in place to rescue a boater who is in danger of losing crew and/or craft is to phone 911. This call goes to Parkland County in Wabamun. They have emergency responders on 24hr call who are trained to deal with an on-water emergency or distress. A Boston Whaler, Zodiac and Sea-Doo are stationed at Wabamun. In the event of an on-water emergency call 911 the operator will assess the situation and deploy the appropriate resources. If the circumstances require the the RCMP, that decision will be made by the 911 operator.

This document is offered to start the discussion among boaters, yacht clubs, and local authorities to identify emergency dispatch procedures. The following information came from a presentation and panel discussion on the topic of marine radio at a monthly meeting of the Alberta Offshore Sailing Association on February 19^th, 2014.

A boater should file a float plan (date, time of departure, destination and time of return, skipper, crew, MMSI number, etc.) with friends, relatives and/or their respective club house.

A registered MMSI number and DSC-VHF radio can help in a distress situation. All boaters should consider acquiring both a DSC-VHF Class D radio and e/w it with an MMSI number and a connection to a GPS receiver. There is no fee for this service. This gives a boater the capability of sending a distress call with coordinates.

The cellular coverage of Wabamun Lake is now complete for Rogers and TELUS service providers. Sunshine Bay is occasionally marginal. There is a long distance fee from the West end of the lake.

A satellite phone can be bought at London Drugs for about $120. Satellite phone service is quite expensive for Wabamun Lake.

www.findmespot.ca/en/ explains SPOT, a satellite tracking system to alert a potential rescuer.
There is a fee for SPOT service. The limiting factor is that the recipient of the emails must have internet service to receive the SPOT emails.

www.inreachdelorme.com is a similar satellite tracking system offering personal satellite tracking, messaging, and navigation technology. The limiting factor is that the recipient of the emails must have internet service to receive the Inreach emails. But you can send a coded message directly from the device.

AOSA Recommendation: that this discussion continue until a reasonable, workable solution is implemented to duplicate the coast guard emergency watch and rescue function on Wabamun Lake. What can you, your yacht club and/or organization do to help?

Affected Groups:

· Wabum Marina	· Town of Wabamun
· Wabamun Sailing Club	· Hamlet of Fallis
· Edmonton Yacht Club	· Wabamun Fire Department
· Sunshine Bay Yacht Club	· Other groups – who are they?
