Is this what it means when the news says Gail warning?

No, gale warning is issued at the coast but this is in the sea

Thank you. Do you know what this is called or is it just referred to as a storm? Like if the news was to give a warning for this does it have a name?

If I'm not mistaken there's a special weather report for ships, I think the coast guard does it but I could be wrong. The captain of this ship would get a weather report. Example, heavy rain expected time and coordinates, wind gusts up to 5 knots etc..
