Web alarm clock for 12:18 p.m.

You have just woken up, and the crew’s arrival still needs to be logged with the Philippine Coast Guard at 12:18 pm. Set the alarm before you begin checking names, vessel details, or the assigned reporting channel. That leaves a clear reminder before 1:00 pm, so the arrival record does not get lost among the first tasks of your day.

Your Coast Guard arrival report depends on hearing the alert when it is actually needed, so test the signal now while you can still adjust it. Set a near-term trial alarm, raise the volume to a level you can notice, and confirm that your browser is allowed to play sound. Keep this page running and your phone awake: if either stops, the alarm may not sound, and the crew’s arrival could remain unrecorded.

As you prepare the crew details around midday, notice where the background noise is likely to rise. Electric fans, traffic, conversations, and harbour activity may become louder as 1:00 pm approaches. Put the phone close enough to hear without placing it beside water or paperwork, choose a distinct alert tone, and avoid covering the speaker with a bag or folded document.
