If you are a regular reader of this feature do you ever wonder where all the ships that enroll come from? Or if we will ever have all the ships in the world signed up? We often think of these things. In reality the Amver system has a little over 21,000 ships enrolled in the system. On any day there are about 3,700 ships actively reporting. Those are pretty big numbers! What about the rest of the merchant fleet? Perhaps they haven't learned about us yet. Maybe you can tell them the benefits of Amver participation for us? In the meantime please help us welcome the latest members of our safety network.- ETERNUS

Happy Birthday AMVER
July 1st 1958 - July 1st 2010
Happy Birthday AMVER you are 52 years old today
July 1, 1958- The new Atlantic merchant vessel position reporting program [known by the acronym AMVER] was established. It was aimed at encouraging domestic and foreign merchant vessels to send voluntary position reports and navigational data to U.S. Coast Guard shore based radio stations and ocean station vessels. Relayed to a ships’ plot center in New York and processed by machine, these data provided updated position information for U.S. Coast Guard rescue coordination centers. The centers could then direct only those vessels which would be of effective aid to craft or persons in distress. This diversion of all merchant ships in a large area became unnecessary.
What has made AMVER so sucessful is the vessels that voluntary put themselves "On Plot" if it was not the vessel's particpation in the AMVER it would not be the sucess it is today in saving lives at sea
