121. A DSC Distress Relay should always be made under the following circumstances:

When a DSC response to a Distress alert from a Coast/Ship Station hasn't been received and the Master approves .
When the MMSI of the vessel in Distress cannot be determined.
After there is an acknowledgement from a coast station.
DSC Distress Relays do not need to be made if your vessel is too far away to assist.
