  MARITIME IDENTIFICATION DIGITS digital
Maritime Identification Digits (MID) The first three digits of the MMSI are known as the Maritime Identification Digits (MID).
This MID identifies the vessel's country of origin and is the first three digits of the MMSI number.
The MID is a "Country Code", and at present the Canada has been assigned the digits "316", "317", and "318", the U.S. the digits "366", "367", "368", and "369".

The digit 9 may be used to indicate the maritime identifica- tion digits for ships of the same nationality as the network and the coast station.
As the first digit of an MID (Maritime Identification Digits) indi- cates the zone (continent) in which a country is located, a tech- nique may be adopted on a zonal (continental) basis in which the first digit of the MID is not dialled by the subscriber.
The digit would then be inserted at the coast station (and/or maritime cen- tre), on the assumption that the MID is allocated to a country in the same zone as the coast station (and/or maritime centre).

Three of the nine MMSI digits are the Maritime Identification Digits (MIDs) that represent territory or geographical area of administrations and are assigned by the ITU.
Identification of the mobile station by accessing a registration database is satisfactory, provided that the system can associate the mobile station radio calling number with the particular mobile station user.
A second or subsequent MID should not be requested2 unless the first previously allocated MID allocated is more than 80% exhausted in the basic category of three trailing zeros and the rate of assignments is such that 90% exhaustion is foreseen.

I have determined that it is necessary to inform the public of the identification credential requirement under 33 CFR 125.15(a) for all individuals seeking access to facilities regulated under 33 CFR part 105.
These actions will improve national security by verifying maritime workers' identity, validating their background information, assisting transportation facilities in managing their security risks, and accounting for access of authorized personnel to transportation facilities and activities.
The additional screening provision for specific types of identification credentials, as listed above, is only being used for facility employee and longshoreman credentials at this time because of their regular and constant access to the facility and their knowledge of its operations, as opposed to the infrequent access by other port workers.

 Annex 10 to Minutes ERC Meeting Cyprus
The start of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) in February 1992 has made it necessary to harmonise the examination requirements for certificates of maritime radio operators.
For vessels not subject to SOLAS, it is becoming clear that it would not be practicable to keep the old distress and safety system running in parallel with the GMDSS indefinitely.
This Recommendation describes the examination procedures for maritime radio personnel on board vessels sailing in sea area A1 which use the frequencies and techniques of the GMDSS on a non-compulsory basis.
