A maritime call sign is a unique identifier assigned to a ship or maritime radio station for communication purposes. These call signs are part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and are used in radio communications to ensure that messages can be directed to the correct vessel or station. Call signs typically consist of a combination of letters and numbers and are registered with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) or relevant national authorities.
