Abbreviation for automated mutual assistance vessel rescue system, a system for reporting ship positions aimed at enabling rapid rescue operations in the event of an emergency at sea. Managed by the U.S. Coast Guard. Launched in 1958. Membership in this system is voluntary, and a ship is considered to be a member of the system if it reports its ship's name and voyage plan to the Amber Center when it leaves port. After leaving port, it reports its position at intervals of about 15 degrees of latitude or longitude change, and also immediately before entering port.
