Introduction

Interest in maritime public correspondence facsimile continues to be small, although there are indications that it will develop in the future. It is therefore desirable that the preferred characteristics of a system are identified and specified. It is necessary to note that a maritime facsimile service might take place over MF/HF, VHF and satellite radio circuits and that in formulating any set of technical characteristics it is necessary to take into account the specific requirements of these different frequency bands.
