Monday 6th July, 5:10 am – RCC Bermuda received an EPIRB alert from a Bermuda programmed beacon the indicated distress position was within the Persian Gulf, however the EPIRB was not correctly programmed to an MMSI number or recorded on the Bermuda 406MHz EPIRB database. This cast doubt on the beacon alert being a genuine distress. The Bermuda Shipping and maritime Authority (BSMA) were able to confirm the MMSI number the beacon was programmed with has never been issued. The case was closed the following day when no further information had been received.
