Happy World Maritime Day! And happy 50th birthday to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (#SOLAS) Convention: in fact, this year’s theme for #WMD is “Navigating the future: Safety first!” , recognizing that safety remains paramount in a changing environment as the shipping one. The SOLAS Convention was first adopted in 1914, in response to the #Titanic disaster. It is widely recognized as the most important international treaty on maritime safety.  INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AIDS TO NAVIGATION's daily job directly links to SOLAS, as Aids to Navigation (#AtoN) play a crucial role in enhancing safety of life at sea.

Have you ever wondered about the origin of "pan pan pan"?  The term PAN PAN PAN has its roots in French maritime radio communication. It comes from the French word "panne," which translates to "breakdown" or "failure." Initially used in maritime distress calls, it signaled a situation that was urgent but not immediately life-threatening. This is distinct from a mayday call which means that there is imminent danger to life. In the early days of aviation, radio communication adopted many maritime practices. As air travel evolved, so did the use of PAN PAN PAN in aviation distress calls.  Today, PAN PAN PAN is universally recognised in aviation as a signal of urgency.  You have probably heard about acronyms, but have you ever heard of a backronym (back acronym)? Me neither until I stumbled across it. A backronym is an acronym formed from an already existing word by expanding its letters into a phrase. PAN PAN PAN has a backronym—it stands for "Possible Assistance Needed" or "Pay Attention Now." #AviationHistory #PanPanPan
