A ship station is a mobile station in the maritime mobile service located on board a vessel which is not permanently moored, other than a survival craft station. ITU-BR Guidance for Administrations on Maritime Radiocommunications - 1 October 2014 3 General Information Radiocommunication equipment on board a ship Installed for different purposes: 1. To comply with national and international regulations (i.e. GMDSS, Safety of navigation, vessel tracking and routing systems, etc.). • SOLAS vessels - ships complying with 1974 SOLAS Convention as amended: Equipment based on full GMDSS requirements as laid out in the ITU RR Articles, Chapter VII and IX. • Commercial vessels over 300 tons and all internationally trading passenger ships: Equipment based on full GMDSS requirements as laid out in the ITU RR Articles, Chapter VII and IX. • Non-SOLAS Vessels: Guidelines established in MSC/Circ. 803 and Res MSC.131(75). Are recommended to carry VHF DSC equipment and maintain Channel 16 and DSC watch. When operating at sea are recommended to carry EPIRB and other communications equipment appropriate to their sea of operation, such as near coastal waters or at sea, as well as being capable of receiving maritime safety information. • Fishing vessels: Of 24 meters in length or over, simplified GMDSS requirements are detailed in the FAO/ILO/IMO Code of Safety for Fishermen and Fishing vessels, 2005. Of 12 meter in length or over, Voluntary guidance is given in FAO/ILO/IMO Voluntary Guidelines for the design, Construction and Equipment of Small Fishing Vessels, 2005. ITU-BR Guidance for Administrations on Maritime Radiocommunications - 1 October 2014 4 General Information Radiocommunication equipment on board a ship 2. Commercial purposes Radiotelephony equipment normally can be used for: • Distress and Safety communications (GMDSS) • Commercial communications - (i.e. may use VHF/MF/HF or via Satellite systems). Satellite systems: allows connection to the internet-broadband, to make phone calls and data exchange worldwide. 3. Points for consideration VHF/MF/HF has a lower cost than satellite communications. Appendix 17 and 18 of the ITU Radio Regulations establish the frequencies in maritime radiocommunications, VHF, MF/HF. Articles 46 to 58 (Maritime Services) of the RR establish the GMDSS operational procedures. Accounting Authorities-these are companies or telecommunication organisation’s authorized by the administrations to manage payments for communications. (ITU-T Recommendation. D.90). ITU-BR Guidance for Administrations on Maritime Radiocommunications - 1 October 2014 5 ITU Radio Regulations ITU-BR Guidance for Administrations on Maritime Radiocommunications - 1 October 2014 6 Definitions . ship station: A mobile station in the maritime mobile service located on board a vessel which is not permanently moored, other than a survival craft station.

(RR 1.65) maritime mobile service: A mobile service between coast stations and ship stations, or between ship stations, or between associated on-board communication stations; survival craft stations and emergency position-indicating radiobeacon stations may also participate in this service. (RR 1.28) mobile service: A radiocommunication service between mobile and land stations, or between mobile stations (CV). (RR 1.24) ITU-BR Guidance for Administrations on Maritime Radiocommunications - 1 October 2014 7 Ship station - Identification (Article 19 of the RR) Note: 1. All transmissions shall be capable of being identified either by identification signals or by other means; 2. All transmissions in the mobile services should carry identification signals; 3. All transmissions with false or misleading identification are prohibited; • In transmissions carrying identification signals a station shall be identified by a call sign, by a maritime mobile service identity (MMSI) or by other recognized means of identification; • All stations open to international public correspondence, all amateur stations, and other stations which are capable of causing harmful interference beyond the boundaries of the territory or geographical area in which they are located, shall have call signs from the international series allocated to its administration as given in the Table of Allocation of International Call Sign Series in Appendix 42. • As the need arises, ship stations and ship earth stations to which the provisions of Chapter IX apply, and coast stations, coast earth stations, or other non-ship-borne stations capable of communicating with such ship stations, shall have assigned to them maritime mobile service identities (MMSI) in accordance with Section VI of this Article. ITU-BR Guidance for Administrations on Maritime Radiocommunications - 1 October 2014 8 Ship station – Call sign (Article 19 of the RR) 1. Each administration shall choose the call signs from the international series allocated to it; 2. Administrations should not assign the same call sign to two different ship stations under their jurisdiction. Formation of call signs: • Call signs in the international series are formed, for ship stations, as indicated in Nos. 19.54 to 19.55. The first two characters shall be two letters or a letter followed by a digit or a digit followed by a letter; • 19.54 Ship stations • 19.55 § 24 − two characters and two letters, or − two characters, two letters and one digit (other than the digits 0 or 1), or − two characters (provided that the second is a letter) followed by four digits (other than the digits 0 or 1 in cases where they immediately follow a letter), or − two characters and one letter followed by four digits (other than the digits 0 or 1 in cases where they immediately follow a letter). • Example: Call signs assigned by the administration of Switzerland (Call sign series for Switzerland: HBA-HBZ): • 19.55 § 24 − two characters and two letters: HBAA, HBAB, HBAC − two characters, two letters and one digit (other than the digits 0 or 1): HBAA2, HBAA9 − two characters (provided that the second is a letter) followed by four digits (other than the digits 0 or 1 in cases where they immediately follow a letter): HB2000, HB2010, HB9999 − two characters and one letter followed by four digits (other than the digits 0 or 1 in cases where they immediately follow a letter): HBA2000, HBA2010, HBA9999 ITU-BR Guidance for Administrations on Maritime Radiocommunications - 1 October 2014 9 Ship station – Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) (Article 19 of the RR) 1. Each administration shall choose the maritime mobile service identities (MMSI) of its stations from the maritime identification digits call signs from the international series allocated to it; 2. Administrations should not assign the same MMSI to two different ship stations under their jurisdiction; 3. Administrations should ensure that when ships move from the flag of registration of one administration to that of another administration, all of the assigned means of ship station identification, including the MMSI, are reassigned as appropriate. Formation of MMSI (Recommendation ITU-R M.585-6): • Maritime mobile service identities are formed of a series of nine digits which are transmitted over the radio path in order to uniquely identify ship stations, ship earth stations, coast stations, coast earth stations, and other non-shipborne stations operating in the maritime mobile service or the maritime mobile-satellite service, and group calls.; • When a station operating in the maritime mobile service or the maritime mobile-satellite service is required to use maritime mobile service identities, the responsible administration shall assign the identity to the station in accordance with the provisions described in Annex 1 of Recommendation ITU-R M.585-6. identities. • Ships participating in the maritime radio services should be assigned a nine digit unique
