Maritime Identification Digits (MID)

These 3 figure codes have been allocated by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), and are used to denote the country of registration of a vessel or the location of a shore station using DSC.

Note that the numbers are issued on a geographic or regional basis. Large nations normally have a vacant block after the main allocation - these vacant blocks are planned to be used for expansion once the main allocation has been used.
