AMVER stands for what?

AMVER is about automatically collecting and sharing vessel positions from merchant ships to support rescue operations. The option that says “Automated Merchant Vessel Report System” best matches this idea because it clearly describes an automated way for merchant vessels to report information, and it frames the mechanism as a system for reporting. The other phrasing shifts the focus—using terms like maritime or marine broadens to non-merchant vessels, or changes the function to emergency reporting or evacuation—so they don’t align as tightly with the intended purpose of AMVER.
