VHF Marine Communications Course
Today, radio
communications are a central and essential part of life at sea. A VHF radio is
the absolute minimum a prudent skipper should have on board, even on local
waters. Once a mariner ventures further offshore then the inventory of
communications equipment grows to include SSB/HF radio, Satellite communication,
EPIRBs, SARTs etc.
Commercial vessels and vessels that have to comply with their Flag State's regulations will be required to carry specific equipment including possibly Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). This applies to all cargo ships of 300 gross tons, and all passenger ships regardless of size, on International voyages. There are a number of purposes for good communications while at sea. These range from Safety, which has absolute priority, to operational and business communications, both ship to shore and ship to ship. Familiarity with and correct use of, the various items of equipment is essential and in some instances compulsory. This course covers the various types of communications equipment, regulations concerning their use correct use, radio equipment and the correct procedures for emergency radio communications.
