The Pan-Pan call on VHF radio is used to indicate an urgent situation that requires assistance but is not immediately life-threatening. It alerts other vessels and maritime authorities that a situation exists, such as a mechanical failure or a medical issue, where the caller needs help but is not in grave danger. The call is made by stating "Pan-Pan" three times, followed by the vessel's identification and details of the situation. This helps prioritize response efforts while distinguishing it from Mayday calls, which indicate a life-threatening emergency.
