I. Read and translate the following text

NAVTEX

Introduction

NAVTEX is an international automated direct-printing service, broadcast on 518 kHz, for the promulgation of navigational and meteorological warnings and urgent information to ships. It has been developed to provide a low cost, simple means of receiving marine safety information onboard ships at sea and in coastal waters.

NAVTEX fulfils an integral role in the GMDDS and is also a component of the World-Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS).
