How to get a marine vhf radio licence.

A marine VHF radio is an important safety tool when out at sea.

For example, yacht captains can keep in touch with marinas, the coastguard and other boats in the near vicinity.

However, those who make use of a marine VHF radio need to have a suitable licence.

This licence is a must for sailors, kayakers, paddle boarders and anyone driving a powerboat.

What is a Marine VHF Radio Licence?

Why do i need a marine vhf radio licence, ship's (vhf) licence, portable radio licence, operator's licence, short range certificate (src), long range certificate (lrc), how to apply for a marine vhf radio licence, can i take a marine short range certificate (src) course & exam, what does the short range certificate (src) exam test for, do yacht crew need to know how to use a marine vhf radio, how do i get an mmsi number, can i transfer a licence from vessel to vessel, how long is a licence valid for, what happens if i sell my vessel, how do i get into yachting.

Radios aboard ships use MF, VHF, HF and UHF frequency equipment.

Depending on the type of radio the vessel is equipped with and how it is used, you may need both a radio licence as well as an operator’s licence.

This is required by law if one is going to make use of such equipment onboard a sea vessel such as a superyacht.

The ship radio licence should be kept on board as inspections may be carried out.

Should a valid licence not be produced on demand, the equipment could be confiscated and legal action will be taken.

The vessel may also be seized, so it’s crucially important that anyone operating a ship with radio equipment has all necessary licences in place.

Such a radio licence ensures that the radio equipment used onboard sea vessels will not cause any undue interference to other communications equipment.

It’s also a way of ensuring the radio equipment is operated by competent persons only.

It’s important to point out that if one makes use of a marine VHF radio without having such a licence, this constitutes a criminal offence.

OFCOM’s enforcement team may impose fines on the spot, and the maximum penalty fine on conviction set at £5,000 with the possibility of a 6 month custodial prison sentence!

Anyone convicted will also be ordered to forfeit their radio equipment.

Types of Radio Licences

In most cases this is the most common Licence that is required.

This licence authorises the use of two-way communications with other sea vessels, shore stations and marinas, as well as aircraft, by making use of specific frequencies within the International Maritime Band .

In case of handheld VHF/DSC radios this special licence is required.

A ship portable radio licence allows the operator to use any handheld VHF/DSC radio.

The licence number will have the prefix ‘T’, which delineates that it is transportable.

This will also be subjected to checking that the registered details are correct every 10 years.

Sometimes, a no ship call sign can be allocated to portable VHF.

In such cases operators would need to identify themselves either by name or by the type of vessel that they are on.

This licence does not extend outside the UK territorial waters.

Apart from the ship’s radio licence, you would also need an operator’s licence.

There are various certificates of competence available.

These depend on the type of equipment that is installed and its application.

Such courses can be taken at MCA or RYA training centres .

This is the licence that is required to be able to operate VHF equipment.

The SRC is needed for all VHF DSC equipment on both commercial as well as pleasure craft.

In order to obtain the SRC, one would need to sit for an exam, and in addition, sign a confidentiality agreement with the application.

This is then sent to the RYA, which will then issue the certificate.

Should you have an old restricted licence on non-DSC equipment, you would need to reapply to take the SRC at an RYA training centre to be allowed to use the DSC radio equipment.

However you would not need to sit for the exam and the old certification may still be used to operate a non-DSC radio.

The LRC is required to operate MF/HF/VHF equipment on any sea vessel which may be required to fit Global Maritime Distress and Safety System equipment which is beyond sea area A1.

This is typically around 30 to 40 nautical miles from a coastal radio station.

Upon installing the radio in the vessel you will need a ship’s radio licence.

This can be issued free of charge for the lifetime of the vessel, and you may obtain it through the Office of Communications website (OFCOM).

The details will be checked every 10 years to make sure that they are correct.

In case the boat is sold, the new owner’s details will need to be transferred to the MMSI number .

A transfer would also need to be made in case the radio is sold.

Prior to this arrangement, one had to return the radio to the manufacturer in order to remove its MMSI number, and the new boat owner would have had to go through the application in order to apply for a new one.

When an MMSI is registered with OFCOM, both the ITU and the MCA will be informed so that the MMSI number will appear in the Maritime Access and Retrieval System .

The vessel’s name and country will also be inputted.

Yes, one may follow a marine radio SRC course in order to sit for the exam.

Such a course is ideal for anyone who owns either a fixed or handheld marine VHF radio.

The short range certificate is the most basic qualification that is required by law when using such equipment.

These courses are organised by the RYA and they comprise 10 hours plus the examination time.

The courses are held both in person and online.

However the exam is always carried out in a classroom.

One needs to be at least 16 years of age to enrol for such a course and sit for the exam.

During the course, the basics of radio operation will be tackled, along with key areas such as frequencies, making ship to shore calls, dealing with distress and emergency situations and relevant procedures in such cases.

Digital Selective Calling and the Global Maritime Distress Safety System will also be tackled.

The SRC exam is a written theory exam.

It assesses candidates to ensure that they are knowledgeable on how to make proper use of marine VHF radios.

If you wish to embark on a career at sea and plan to get into yachting , having a variety of skills at your disposal is crucial to the safety and wellbeing on board.

However, it is very unusual for deck crew such as deckhands, bosuns, chief stewards, stewards or chefs to ever be involved in the ship’s operation or navigation.

Use of the vessel's Marine VHF radio is strictly for the Captain, as well as the 1st and 2nd officers inside the bridge, thus enabling the rest of the crew to carry out their day-to-day duties.

Only in very rare circumstances will another member of the crew have to use the ship’s main VHF radio.

Frequently Asked Questions

MMSI stands for Maritime Mobile Service Identity number. This is issued to all new ship radio licences, including those issued for portable radios. Should you already have a ship radio or ship portable radio licence, you would need to amend it accordingly. Once it has been amended, an MMSI will be generated. This will be displayed on the licence document too. Applying for this number is done through the OFCOM website.

No, you cannot transfer a licence to your name because these licences are non-transferable. This is due to the fact that a call sign and an MMSI number remains with the particular vessel for life. Hence, in such cases one would need to apply for a new licence by providing the new owner’s name, and retain the call sign and MMSI number of that vessel.

These licences are valid for the lifetime of the vessel. In case the vessel is sold, you would have to surrender the licence.

If the vessel is sold, the owner needs to surrender the licence. This can be done by logging into the online licensing service page on OFCOM’s website where one can manage his licences.

Working aboard a superyacht is a very attractive career choice, especially for the adventurous types who love the outdoors.

With that in mind, it is also a very demanding and challenging career.

Days are long, and free time to spend for yourself is very limited.

But if you have the right mindset and a positive attitude to earning a potentially tax free income , it can be a great way to get ahead and put away a nice little nest egg for the future.

If you’re thinking about a career as part of a yacht crew, check out the various articles available in our blog , or speak to one of our team who can offer free advice and guidance on a career in yachting and how best to prepare your tax affairs to maximise your take home salary.

Ship radio is imperative for the safe navigation of vessels.

Apart from enabling communication with other vessels, coast stations and port authorities, it is used in emergency situations such as to make distress calls.

Therefore it is important to ensure that one has the proper licence.

How to register and use your marine VHF radio

• Top stories

When you are new to boating or the boat is new to you, one of the first things you need to do is license the VHF radio to you, the owner. Jon Mendez explains how it's done...

VHF radio licences are free, you just need to go to www.ofcom.org.uk and select Marine VHF. You will also need an operator’s licence for at least one person aboard, usually the skipper.

This is administered by the RYA who can advise you where to take the relevant course and exam. Licences for both vessel and operator are about the only part of UK boating that is compulsory.

Your radio licence will have two pieces of vital information – your MMSI and Call Sign. The MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) is a nine-digit number that identifies your radio and means that if you send a digital message the recipient can identify who it’s from.

Article continues below…

Vesper Marine Cortex: What makes this the world’s first smart VHF?

Tried and tested: icom ic-m94de vhf radio with ais.

The Call Sign is the second method of identifying your vessel. Displaying both of these prominently on your boat near the radio set is a sensible idea in case any of your crew need to use it.

A printed out procedure card with that and all the information needed to send a full Mayday message is even better. Digital Selective Calling (DSC) needs you to enter the MMSI (just once, and it can’t be changed) into your VHF for it to work correctly.

Check that your VHF radio is linked to a GPS source such as a chartplotter (some modern sets have their own GPS receiver built in) so that it can transmit your exact position too. If working correctly, your lat and long is usually displayed on the VHF screen or with a symbol.

If your VHF set lacks a DSC function then it’s good practice to have your lat and long viewable on a plotter screen or a GPS unit at all times so anybody aboard can call it out.

If your set doesn’t have DSC or hasn’t been linked to a GPS, always have your position information on display somewhere else near to the VHF, such as in the corner of your chartplotter. All photos: Richard Langdon

How to use a VHF radio correctly is an essential boating skill; you don’t want to be fumbling about trying to remember the training when you really need it.

You, as skipper, should have a good understanding of how it works, how to adjust it and how to send an emergency message. Ideally, at least one other person aboard should also have a working knowledge of the basics.

For local boating (and as a back-up) a handheld radio might be enough, however a fixed set has more power and better features, and when combined with a taller aerial, will allow you to receive and transmit over a significantly longer distance.

The first thing you need to know is how to turn it on – many newer sets are not as intuitive as you might think. Once on, turn it up to half volume so there is something to listen to, now adjust the squelch.

Turning the squelch up reduces unwanted background noise but also reduces its sensitivity, so aim to set the squelch as low as possible to maximise its reception. Be sure you do this every time you venture out.

Speaking into a VHF also requires practice, try to speak louder, slower and enunciate your words so that everything you say is as clear and precise as possible.

To activate the red DSC Mayday button, lift the cover, press and hold for five seconds. This will send a digital message to all stations containing your position, time and MMSI details

The DSC function is similar to sending a text message except that the text is already composed, you just choose who to send it to.

The red distress button on the face plate of most modern radios simply requires pressing for five seconds for it to send a Mayday message to All Stations, including the coastguard.

The message contains your MMSI, GPS position and time; using the menu function you can also add a reason for the distress such as fire, sinking etc.

This Mayday DSC transmission must now be followed up with a spoken Mayday message, hence the reason for having a prepared card to make this easier.

The DSC menu also allows you to carry out a radio check with a simple button push instead of having to trouble another vessel or coastguard stations.

An almanac will have all the local channels for marinas, ports and other facilities. Get to know your set and your area so that you become comfortable using it. It’s a really helpful tool as well as a vital piece of safety equipment.

• Marine Radio Operator Licensing

Do I Need a Radio Operator’s Permit?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates who is required to hold a radio operator's license/permit and what type is needed.

The determining factors include: Vessel type and size, the area that you operate your vessel in, who you are communicating with, and the type of radio equipment that you are using.

The rules governing whether an operator’s license or permit is required are no more complex than those governing marine radio station (Ship Station) licensing. They do become slightly more complex though when it comes to determining which type of license or permit is needed.

The good news is that in the case of most U.S. based recreational boaters; no operator's license is required. There are exceptions though, such as the type of radio equipment being used.

The obvious starting point is to first determine whether or not you need an operator's license at all. Like our FCC Ship Station licensing page, we have a table below to assist you in finding out who is required by law to have a license to operate a marine radio station of any type aboard any vessel:

So... Do You Need an Operator’s License?

Now that you have checked the table above and have determined whether you need a radio operators license or not, the next step is to determine which radio operator’s license you will need.

Types of License’s

There are more than a dozen different commercial radio operator licenses currently issued by the FCC. However, for the recreational boater or small commercial boat operator (less than 300 gross tons), you will typically only need to look at one or two different licenses, the Marine Radio Operator’s Permit (MROP) or the Restricted Radiotelephone Operator’s Permit (RR.)

Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (RR)

This is the simplest license to obtain. There is no exam involved and it will serve the needs of most recreational boaters.

The following criteria must be met:

• You must be a legal resident of (or otherwise eligible for employment in) the United States; and
• You must be able to speak and hear ( note: There is no mention of the English language ); and
• You must be able to keep at least a rough written log; and
• You must be familiar with provisions of applicable treaties, laws and rules which govern the radio station you will operate.

The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (RR) is issued for the holder’s lifetime (does not expire.)

Marine Radio Operator Permit (MP)

The MP is required to operate radiotelephone stations aboard certain vessels that sail the Great Lakes. They are also required to operate radiotelephone stations aboard vessels of more than 300 gross tons and vessels which carry more than six passengers for hire in the open sea or any tidewater area of the United States. They are also required to operate certain aviation radiotelephone stations and certain coast radiotelephone stations.

• You must be able to receive and transmit spoken messages in English; and
• You must pass a written examination (FCC Element 1) on operating procedures and radio law.

The Marine Radio Operator Permit (MP) is issued for the holder’s lifetime (does not expire.)

The Yacht Radio Licence - A Guide To Licensing, Call Signs, MMSI Numbers & More

Introduction.

Radio licensing is an integral part of the yacht documentation procedure and is an important component of the Oceanskies yacht registration service.

Oceanskies is a leading yacht registration and yacht documentation consultancy specialising in the registration of yachts of all sizes at all of the main yacht registry jurisdictions.

It is the purpose of this guide to set out the underlying legal requirements for yachts to hold a valid radio licence and detail the key components of the process.

International radio regulations govern all use of the entire radio spectrum worldwide. The regulations are laid down by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Radio regulations have international treaty status and are binding on all ITU member states. The ITU was founded in Paris in 1865 as the International Telegraph Union, and took its present name in 1934. In 1947 it became a specialised agency of the United Nations, based in Geneva.

The international regulations require all radio transmitting stations installed onboard a yacht to have a license issued by the government of the country of the vessel’s registry. Specifically, the Radio Regulations issued by the ITU state at Article S18:

S18.1 § 1 1) No transmitting station may be established or operated by a private person or by any enterprise without a licence issued in an appropriate form and in conformity with the provisions of these Regulations by or on behalf of the government of the country to which the station in question is subject.

Article 47.2 of the Radio Regulations relevantly states that:

“The service of every ship radiotelephone station, ship earth station and ship station …………. shall be controlled by an operator holding a certificate issued or recognised by the government to which the station is subject. Provided the station is so controlled, other persons besides the holder of the certificate may use the equipment.”

The effect of the radio regulations is to ensure that radio equipment used onboard a yacht does not cause undue interference to other communications equipment and is operated by competent persons. In practice this means that all maritime radio transmission equipment onboard a yacht operating internationally must be:

• compliant with national requirements
• covered by a Ship Radio Licence or Ship Portable Radio Licence
• operated by (or under the direct supervision of) a holder of a maritime radio operator’s certificate

Yacht Radio Licence

The licensing authority responsible for the issue of a yacht’s radio licence will be determined by the vessel’s flag state and is usually a either a national radio licensing authority or a department of the ship registry. The issue of a radio licence to a vessel allows the licensee to install and, if a relevant Maritime Radio Operators’ Certificate of Competence and Authority to Operate is held, use any combination of maritime radio equipment listed below on a specified vessel:

• Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment associated with the Global Maritime Distress & Safety System (GMDSS);
• MF, HF, VHF equipment;
• Satellite communications equipment (Ship Earth Stations);
• Search and Rescue Radar Transponders (SARTs);
• Low powered, on board maritime UHF communications equipment;
• On board repeater stations;
• 3/123.1 MHz Aeronautical Search and Rescue equipment;
• 5/243 MHz and 406/121.5 MHz Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), 406 MHz and 6.1 GHz; and
• Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs).

Yacht Call Signs

A call sign will be allocated to the yacht as part of the licensing function. This call sign is a unique identification for the vessel and cannot be transferred between vessels (unlike a vessel name). The call sign is recognised worldwide because the issuing agency will register it with the ITU with the details of the vessel. A vessel with a properly registered call sign can be identified easily and it also enables a vessel owner to set up an account with an accounting authority to make use of international telephone services through foreign coast stations.

Yacht Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) numbers

An MMSI number is the equivalent of an electronic call sign and it is required to operate Digital Selective Calling (DSC) radio or satellite communications equipment. It is usually allocated as part of the initial radiolicensing procedure but can be requested at any point afterwards. The MMSI is also registered with the ITU.

EPIRBs & PLBs

EPIRBs and PLBs are self-contained, battery-operated radio transmitters. Their purpose is to help determine the position of survivors in search-and-rescue (SAR) operations. A 406 MHz EPIRB or PLB has a unique identification code, known as a HEX ID, which is programmed during manufacture. If the EPIRB/PLB is activated and the owner or operator has properly registered the unit as part of the radiolicensing procedure it could assist rescuers in determining the name, size and type of the craft in distress. If the EPRIB is not properly registered its usefulness to the rescue services in an emergency will be seriously degraded, and lives may be put at risk.

Yacht Portable Radio Licence

A Portable Radio Licence covers the use of a portable, hand-held marine VHF or VHF/DSC radio with an integral power supply and antenna not covered by the Ship Radio Licence. It can also additionally cover the carrying of PLBs. This licence is usually issued to someone who intends using a hand-held radio on more than one vessel.

Oceanskies Radiolicensing Services

Oceanskies includes the provision of a radio licence for all client vessels as part of its standard yacht registration service. We will apply on behalf of the yacht owner to the radiolicensing authority corresponding to the yacht’s registration.

The radio licence will allocate the vessel’s call sign and, where applicable, the vessel’s MMSI number.

In cases where flag state and/or the radio licensing authority requires a radio inspection survey to be carried out as part of the licensing process we shall organise on behalf of the owner.

Oceanskies is also able to provide a registration service for EPIRBs and PLBs installed onboard client vessels and will ensure that each unit is noted on the vessel’s radio licence and registered with the appropriate coastguard authority.

We can also assist when required with the commissioning of satellite equipment and the provision of a radio and/or satellite accounting authority.

Oceanskies can also provide as a separate service a dedicated 24 hour shore based emergency contact facility.

For further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

About the Online VHF Radio Course

Get an MMSI number!

Digital Selective Calling (DSC) requires an MMSI Number to function. The MMSI number application requirements in Australia are either a Short-Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (SROCP) or a Long-Range Operator Certificate of Proficiency (LROCP).

After obtaining your marine radio licence, applying for a new MMSI number or transferring an existing one is straightforward and free of charge. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) issues MMSI numbers, typically overnight, upon receiving your completed application and proof of your marine radio licence.

Our VHF licence course exceeds the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standards. Upon completing our online radio course and passing the assessment, the Office of Maritime Communications (OMC) within the Australian Maritime College (AMC) issues your licence. The Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) designated the AMC to issue internationally recognised SROCP and LROCP in Australia.

How to Get a VHF Radio License as an Individual Operator

Any vessel that has a marine VHF radio onboard is required by law to have two licenses. The first is the ship’s license, and the second is the operator’s license issued to the person who has been trained to VHF radio.

If you are an individual who needs to get a VHF radio license, you can sign up to training with First Class Sailing. We offer the VHF Radio License course either online or in person with us in Southampton or London.

How to get a VHF radio license

1) Sign-up to a VHF Radio License course and take the lessons either online or in a classroom environment.

2) Take the assessment which is based on content learnt in the course and lasts three hours. It is made up of a two part exam, one practical and one theory. The theory paper takes thirty minutes, followed by the practical session with other candidates.

3) Pass the assessment and receive your VHF radio license.

You must have taken the VHF Course before attending for assessment, and the minimum age is sixteen.

Costs are £149 for the course and £30 for the assessment if you took the course with us. If you took the course elsewhere and just wish to do the assessment with us, the assessment cost is £45. There is also a £70 licence fee payable to the RYA.

It can take up to 21 days to receive your VHF (SRC) Radio Licence. If you pay an additional fee the RYA will turn it around for you in 48 hours. (Very useful if you are chartering a yacht imminently!)

There is no time limit between taking the course and the assessment however you would be advised to take the assessment pretty soon after you complete the course, so the knowledge is fresh in your head.

Why get a VHF radio license

If you have a marine VHF radio on your boat, then as an individual you need a license to operate it, or a license holder needs to be on the boat with you. The boat itself also requires a Ship’s License by law, as enforced by Ofcom.

If you fail to hold and produce a valid ship’s radio license, then you could incur an on the spot fine. The maximum penalty is currently set at £5,000 and can even lead to a six month prison sentence. If you are convicted of using VHF radio without a license you might also have give-up any radio apparatus that was used illegally.

Licensing is enforced in order to ensure that VHF radio equipment on a vessel does not cause undue interference to other users on the water and is a way of validating that the radio is being operated by a competent person.

Aside from the obvious benefit of not breaking the law, holding a VHF marine radio licence means you can then communicate effectively, safely, clearly, and responsibly with other boats and the coastguard in emergency situations. You can also receive weather updates and navigational information.

In addition to this, all charter companies, including those in the Med, will ask that you have a VHF Radio license to charter one of their yachts.

It is important to note that holding a licence is not a substitute for training. If you feel you are rusty and need a refresh, you can re-take your training with us to bring you back up to speed.

Once you have completed the assessment successfully with First Class Sailing, the RYA will issue your license.

Old Vs New Owner Request MMSI Transfer

To Initiate an MMSI Transfer

Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) is a unique 9 digit number that is assigned to a (Digital Selective Calling) DSC radio or an AIS unit. Similar to a cell phone number, your MMSI number is your unique calling number for DSC radios or an AIS unit. The information provided when obtaining a MMSI number is transferred into the U.S. Coast Guard's national distress database for use in emergency situations.

BoatUS has been authorized by both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the U.S. Coast Guard to assign MMSI numbers to vessels with DSC capable radios that are not required by law to carry a radio, and do not make international voyages or communications. BoatUS is responsible for relaying the MMSI registration information to the U.S. Coast Guard for search and rescue purposes.

MMSI numbers are free for BoatUS Members or $25 for non-Members.

Registration Criteria

BoatUS has been authorized by both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the U.S. Coast Guard to assign MMSI numbers only to vessels that meet the following criteria:

• Used for recreation only
• Not required by law to carry a radio
• Not required by law to have a FCC Ship Station license
• Vessel is under 65' in length
• Do not communicate with or visit foreign ports (i.e. Canada, Bahamas, Mexico, and the Caribbean)

If you do not meet these criteria, you are legally required to obtain a Ship Station License from the FCC . They will issue an MMSI number with a Ship Station License.

Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) is a unique 9 digit number that is assigned to an individual vessel. It is entered into DSC (Digital Selective Calling) radios and AIS (Automatic Identification System) units used on that vessel. Similar to a cell phone number, your MMSI number is your unique calling number for DSC radios or an AIS unit. The information provided when obtaining an MMSI number is transferred into the U.S. Coast Guard's national distress database for use in emergency situations.

There is a $25 fee to register for MMSI through this program; however, the registration fee will be waived for current BoatUS Members.

Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a radio technology allowing enhanced distress radio messages to be sent digitally. Since 1999, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has required new fixed mount VHF radio sold in the U.S. to be equipped with the DSC feature.

DSC radios have a one-button emergency transmit button that sends the vessel's unique MMSI number. In addition, if the DSC equipped radio is linked to a GPS or Loran unit, the distress call will include the vessel's position. Should the operator become incapacitated, the radio will continue sending the mayday. In addition, a DSC equipped vessel with an MMSI number can make a "private" hailing call to another DSC-equipped vessel. Only the vessel being called will receive the initial contact, but the subsequent conversation will take place on an open, “working” channel, which can be monitored by any VHF equipped vessel within your broadcast range.

Please refer to you radio’s owner’s manual or contact the radio manufacturer for additional information about you radio’s capabilities.

BoatUS MMSI numbers are for US registered or documented, recreational vessels under 65’ that are not visiting or communicating with foreign ports. The registration data provided to BoatUS is only transferred into the U.S. Coast Guard Search & Rescue Database (MISLE). International search & rescue agencies do not have access to the registration data provided to BoatUS.

Registration data for FCC-assigned MMSI numbers go into the International Telecom Union (ITU) database that is accessible to international search & rescue agencies. In order to be accepted into the ITU database, any FCC assigned MMSI must end in zero. This is why the BoatUS MMSI number cannot be re-used when later applying for an FCC MMSI number for international cruising.

Yes. If you have multiple radios that are only used on one boat, you should input the same MMSI number in all radios.

If you plan to use the handheld on multiple boats, you might want a separate MMSI number so that you can update the registration information according to which boat it is currently on. If you only plan to use the handheld on one boat, you can use the same MMSI number that is programmed into the fixed mount radio onboard.

No, recreational boats under 65' that do not communicate with or visit foreign ports do not require a VHF license.

Check the owner's manual for instructions on how to display the MMSI number programmed into the radio or place a direct or “private” hail to another MMSI known to you and ask that the originating MMSI (your MMSI) be read back to you from the receiving unit's display screen.

If you need to test to see if the DSC feature is working, do not test the red distress button as this will send out an illegal false alarm and cause an unnecessary rescue response! Instead, you may run a test call to the nationwide Coast Guard MMSI number, 003669999. Enter this number into your radio’s calling memory and select the “Test Call” option from the radio’s list of individual DSC calls, then press the “call” or “enter” key. Your radio will silently hail the Coast Guard with a digital signal on channel 70. If everything is working properly, your radio will almost immediately receive the Coast Guard’s acknowledgement of your call, providing assurance that both your radio and the Rescue21 system are operating properly.

Alternatively you may also use the DSC function to privately hail another boater’s MMSI number so that they can verify what MMSI came up on their ID. The DSC functions do not work until an MMSI number is programmed in. If your radio contains or is connected to a GPS, the signal will also provide your exact coordinates.

No. You are required to obtain a Ship’s Station License from the FCC and they will provide an MMSI number that is valid for international cruising. To obtain a Ship’s Station License from the FCC, please visit the Ship Radio Stations page or call 877-480-3201.

No. BoatUS MMSI numbers are only for U.S. registered or documented vessels. You must obtain an MMSI number from the country the vessel is flagged in.

No, you will need to obtain a new MMSI number from the FCC and reprogram your radio(s) with the MMSI number the FCC issues. The new MMSI will be coded for international travel and the registration will be entered into the international search & rescue database. To obtain a Ship’s Station License from the FCC, please visit the Ship Radio Stations page or call 877-480-3201.

No. Registration for EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) is done through NOAA . NOAA oversees this satellite search and rescue system which is not related to DSC VHF marine radios however you should provide your EPIRB ID code in the provided field when obtaining a MMSI number.

Channel 70 is to be used exclusively for DSC and DSC capable radios automatically monitor CH70 as well as whatever channel you are otherwise using or monitoring. As a recreational boater, you do not need to monitor it.

It is in effect "private hailing" of another vessel whose MMSI number is known to you. Once contact is established between the vessels, they are automatically switched to the preselected "working channel", and the "privacy" ends at that point, meaning that the transmission (conversation) can be heard by any other vessel monitoring that channel.

Your login name and password are case sensitive and must be inputted exactly as registered. If you are uncertain of your login name and password, please visit the MMSI Account Login page and click on “Forgot your password?” and your login name and password will be sent to the email address you registered with.

After three unsuccessful login attempts, MMSI accounts are locked for security reasons. To verify and unlock your MMSI account, please contact BoatUS MMSI at 800-563-1536 Monday – Friday 9:00AM – 5:00PM EST. For after hours and weekend assistance, please call 800-395-2628 or email [email protected] .

If your email address has changed and you can no longer access the email account that you originally registered with, please reset your email address here .

The action you need to take depends on who has ownership of the radio(s) that were programmed with the MMSI number you obtained:

• If you kept all the radios that had the MMSI number programmed into it, you can update your registration with the new boat information when you buy a new boat.
• If all the radios that are programmed with the MMSI number have been given to the new owner, you must transfer the MMSI number to the new owner by logging into your MMSI account and selecting the “Transfer to New Owner” button. This cancels your MMSI registration and avoids having any future distress calls from the MMSI number linked to you and your personal information. The new owner will then receive an email with instructions on how to claim the MMSI number.
• If you retained one or more of the radios with the MMSI number and the new owner also has one or more radios with the MMSI number programmed into it, you need to work with the new owner to determine who is going to be responsible for obtaining a new MMSI number and having the radio(s) reprogrammed. It is critically important that two individuals are not using the same MMSI number on different boats.

If the MMSI number was assigned by BoatUS and the previous owner has cancelled their registration, BoatUS can transfer the MMSI number to the new owner. If the previous owner has not closed the account, we will attempt to contact them to verify that they are not still using the number in another radio. If the previous owner cannot be contacted or is still improperly using the MMSI you will need to reprogram the radio with a new number. To check if your MMSI was assigned through BoatUS, email [email protected] .

No. You can register your FCC issued MMSI number on the BoatUS website by going to the Non-BoatUS MMSI service page.

Note: that if you plan to make broadcasts in foreign waters you will need to obtain a new FCC licenses.

Ship Station Licenses are not transferable from one boat to another, but the FCC will offer a prorated refund for the years remaining on the ship station license should the owner cancel once the boat has been sold. BoatUS cannot assist with the MMSI transfer process for an FCC assigned MMSI in connection with a ship station license, but if the prior owner of the MMSI has cancelled the ship station license through the FCC, the MMSI can be transferred to the ship station license of the new owner of the vessel and programmed radio by contacting the FCC at 1-877-480-3201.

If the new owner is not required to carry a Ship Station License and has confirmed that the previous owner has cancelled his ship station license, the new owner can input the FCC assigned MMSI into the BoatUS database by going to Non-BoatUS MMSI service page.

Class A and Class B AIS units transmit your position and any identifying information you have programmed into the AIS unit, including your MMSI number. An FCC-issued MMSI number and corresponding vessel and owner information is publically accessible. Vessel tracking websites such as marinetraffic.com and vesselfinder.com track vessel movements using AIS transmissions and identify vessels from their MMSIs using the FCC database. Information provided to BoatUS during the registration process is not provided to any vessel tracking websites or non-government organization.

A course and exam for anyone who owns a fixed or handheld marine VHF radio. A radio is an important piece of safety equipment on board and it is vital to understand the correct procedures. The Short Range Certificate is the minimum qualification required by law to control the operation of VHF and VHF Digital Selective Calling (DSC) equipment on any British flagged vessel voluntarily fitted with a radio either fixed or hand held.

10 hours plus exam time. The exam will always be classroom based but the course can be taken in the classroom or online.

Basics of radio operation, frequencies, distress, emergency and medical assistance procedures, making ship to shore telephone calls, Digital Selective Calling, Global Maritime Distress Safety System

To be able to operate the radio and know the procedures required to use the radio.

This course is based either online or in the classroom with the exam taking place in the classroom.

Both the classroom course and the online course are available through our training centres. Contact a training centre or visit their website to find more details.

SRC exams consist of a written theory exam and assessment in the practical use of marine VHF radios The exam fee is payable to the RYA.

Most candidates are required to complete an RYA SRC course prior to taking the exam, therefore the majority of exams take place at the end of the course. The RYA training centre will give you details of the time and location for your exam when you book your course. .

Find out more about eligibility, arranging and paying for the  SRC exam here .

Information about hand-held VHF DSC

What is dsc.

DSC stands for Digital Selective Calling and is a means of calling other ship stations or shore stations, like ports. 

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has published guidance on the many advantages of DSC .

Can I use hand held VHF DSC? Is hand held VHF DSC legal now?

Yes. In response to approaches from both users and manufacturers, we have made arrangements to authorise the use of some hand held VHF DSC in UK territorial sea - this means within 12 nautical miles of low tide or, for example, half-way across the English Channel to France.

What kit is legal?

Full technical details are available in the document IR2083 (PDF) . If the use of your apparatus conforms to IR2083, then it can be covered by the UK Ship Portable Radio Licence. Your dealer or the manufacturer can advise you. Apparatus must include the CE mark to show that it complies with the applicable EU Directives.

I bought a hand held DSC in the USA/over eBay/at a car boot/off a bloke in the pub. Can I use that?

Almost certainly not,  but see the answer to the preceding question. Canadian and US-specification apparatus has a different channel plan from Europe, and other channel plans must not be used. If apparatus allows the user to select a channel plan, you must select the plan that applies to Europe.

Do I need a special licence? Will my existing Ship Radio Licence cover it? Must I vary my existing licence?

You must have a separate Ship Portable Radio Licence for each hand held VHF DSC radio. This is because each individual radio is given a separate identity. The apparatus must not be used outwith UK territorial sea. So, it cannot be covered by a normal Ship Radio Licence, as this does not impose any territorial restrictions. If you already have a Ship Portable Radio Licence, you should ensure that it includes hand held VHF DSC. If it does not, you can change it online, free of charge.

Can I use it on inland waters?

In common with other ship radio apparatus, hand held VHF DSC may be used in UK inland waterways. However, it must not be used overseas, for example for ATIS , the Automatic Transmitter Identification Scheme which identifies individual vessels on the inland waterways of continental Europe.

Can I use hand held VHF DSC for ATIS?

No. There are three reasons for this:

• ATIS identification numbers relate to a ship, while the MMSI of hand held VHF DSC relates to the individual piece of equipment.
• The Ship Portable Radio Licence is not valid beyond UK territorial sea and we do not issue an international call sign with that licence, so the hand held VHF DSC cannot be used anywhere in continental Europe.
• Other countries may not authorise hand held VHF DSC (or may not do so in the same way that we do). So, they could regard a hand held VHF DSC as being illegal under their legislation, even if it is switched to ATIS working. This could result in enforcement action by the authorities overseas.

Can I use it on any vessel?

As it is licensed under a Ship Portable Radio Licence, you can use the hand held DSC on any ship within UK territorial sea. However, this is at the discretion of the ship's master.

What operator certificate do I need?

You must hold at least the Short Range Certificate to use hand held VHF DSC, just like any VHF DSC radio.

What if I sell my radio?

You must surrender your Ship Portable Radio Licence. Until you do, we cannot transfer the MMSI to the new owner. If the new owner makes a DSC distress call, the MCA will always respond but it may affect their efficiency if they don't have the correct contact details.

Do I need to register my DSC, like an EPIRB?

No. We share MMSI details with the MCA to assist their search and rescue operations. We shall share MMSIs for individual hand held VHF DSC radios with the MCA in the same manner.

I am a dealer. Can I sell any hand held DSC radio?

Under European law, if a piece of hand held VHF DSC apparatus conforms to the relevant Directives, it will have a CE mark and can be sold in any EU country, including the UK, even if its use can't be authorised here. If a manufacturer in another Member State produces an example that carries the CE mark but that does not conform to our Interface Requirement , it can be sold in the UK but it cannot be used under a UK Ship Portable Radio Licence. If hand held DSC does not carry the CE mark, it may not be sold here.

I am a dealer. Can I programme a normal ship MMSI into a hand held DSC set?

While there is no specific law against doing this, it remains that using hand held DSC programmed with an MMSI, other than one that starts 2359xxxxx, is not authorised by the Ship Radio (or Ship Portable Radio) Licence and is therefore unlawful. The courts may hold that it is also unlawful knowingly to facilitate such an unlawful act. Remember - we have agreed this MMSI arrangement with the MCA, to assist in their response to any distress calls. Programming the wrong type of MMSI may affect the MCAs efficiency.

What about the future?

Some the internationally established parameters may change, leading to a need for changes in the way that VHF DSC is used or authorised. For example, an MMSI format may be adopted that differs from the 2359xxxxx format described above. Users would then have to get a new MMSI from us and have it programmed into their set. Dealers would advise how to do this, as sets can often not be reprogrammed by users.
