20 Navtex Question (and answers) to Make Naxtex Your Friend For Life

Do you struggle to sort out navtex warnings ? If yes, you are not alone. Many believe that Navtex is not a perfect equipment for ocean going ships to receive nav warnings. I will be neutral to that statement. The reason is we do not receive in-force navtex list and so we cannot be sure if we have received all the navtex messages or not. But not being perfect equipment for ocean going ships does not mean that it is of no use to us. The only way you can use this imperfect equipment perfectly is by knowing everything about it and by keeping the navtex receiver in good shape. I noticed that we have many questions related to Navtex that come to mind when we think of Navtex. And I thought best way to discuss Navtex would be to answer these questions individually. So here are the 20 questions about navtex and the answers to these 20 questions. Lets Start... 1. Navtex: What it is ?
