10. DIVERSION ORDER Message
Should there be a need for the NCAGS commander to divert you from your
present or future track through the NCAGS, he will send you a DIVERSION
ORDER message. DIVERSION ORDER messages are only applicable whilst
you are within an NCAGS. The first words of the text will be the identifier
“DIVERSION ORDER” followed by:
• The reason for the diversion.
• The position or time at which the diversion is to take place.
• New positions through which the ship is to pass.
11. Advice from Allied Warships
Allied warships or military aircraft may offer advice to any allied merchant
ship at sea at any time. Under NCAGS they may only give orders to merchant
ships whilst within the NCAGS.
12. On Leaving the NCAGS
You might be requested to send a confirmation of leaving the NCAGS, and
are then free to resume your planned passage.
