The NAVTEX system was first tried out in Sweden in 1977, the year when the IMO Assembly adopted the World‑Wide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS) as a means of promulgating navigational and meteorological information.

It was recognized at the start that NBDP offered an excellent means of sending out this information. The fact that the messages are in written form and can be studied at leisure is important, especially when the recipients are not fluent in English. Another advantage is that information which is required can be selected by the operator on the equipment, so that which is not needed, will not be printed. However, important information which should be received by all ships will always be printed.

Although the receiving ship can be selective to some extent, and the receiver is unattended, a ship cannot reject navigational and meteorological warnings and search and rescue information. However, NAVTEX is not regarded primarily as a means of transmitting distress information ‑ under the GMDSS this is done on the distress and safety frequencies.

The early experiments with NAVTEX proved so successful that in 1979, countries bordering the Baltic Sea established the first NAVTEX network. This was then extended to NAVAREA I, which covers the sea areas off north western Europe. A resolution adopted by the IMO Assembly in the same year recommended Administrations to introduce NBDP broadcasts for promulgating navigational and meteorological warnings to shipping as part of the WWNWS (World-Wide Navigational Warning System).

Since then, NAVTEX has spread to many other NAVAREAS and in 1987, it was formally adopted as a component of the GMDSS by means of the IMO Assembly resolution A.617(15). This invites Governments to encourage the use of NAVTEX and provides information on how to commence NAVTEX services.
