A ship station using VHF bridge-to-bridge Channel 13 may be identified by the ship's name in lieu of the call sign.

On VHF bridge-to-bridge communications on Channel 13, you may identify the vessel by its name instead of the call sign. This channel is specifically used for navigational safety between ships, so using the ship’s name makes it quick and easy for nearby vessels to recognize who is speaking. The rule allows the name to stand in for the call sign on this channel, though you can still use the call sign if you prefer. The key point is that identification on this channel can be done by ship name to facilitate clear, rapid identification during safety-related exchanges.
