MID Country Codes used in MMSI

Maritime identification digits (MID) are used by radio communication facilities to identify their home country or base area in Digital Selective Calling (DSC), Automatic Transmitter Identification System (ATIS), and Automatic Identification System (AIS) messages as part of their "Maritime Mobile Service Identities". The International Telecommunication Union facilitates the assignment of MIDs to countries.

The first digit of the MID reveals a regional structure (with some exceptions for countries that were founded the last decades):

  • 2 assigned to Europe,
  • 3 to North America and the Caribbean Sea,
  • 4 to Asia (not the southeast),
  • 5 to the Pacific and Eastern Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia,
  • 6 to Africa, the Atlantic and Western Indian Oceans, and
  • 7 to South America.
