Sec. 80.1087 Ship radio equipment—Sea area A1.
This section contains the additional equipment requirements for ships that
remain within sea area A1 at all times.
(a) In addition to meeting the requirements of Sec. 80.1085, ships engaged on
voyages exclusively in sea area A1 must be provided with a radio
installation capable of initiating the transmission of ship-to-shore
distress alerts from the position from which the ship is normally navigated,
operating either:
(1) On VHF using DSC; or
(2) Through the polar orbiting satellite service on 406.0–406.1 MHz or the
INMARSAT–E service in the 1.6 GHz band (this requirement may be fulfilled by
the EPIRB required by Sec. 80.1085(a)(6), either by installing the EPIRB close
to, or by allowing remote activation from, the position from which the ship
is normally navigated); or
(3) On MF using DSC if the ship is engaged on voyages within coverage of MF
coast stations equipped with DSC; or
(4) On HF using DSC; or
(5) Through the INMARSAT geostationary satellite service if within INMARSAT
coverage. This requirement may be fulfilled by an INMARSAT ship earth
station capable of two way communication.
(b) The VHF radio installation, required by Sec. 80.1085(a)(1), must also be
capable of transmitting and receiving general radiocommunications using
radiotelephony.
