Sec. 80.1089 Ship radio equipment—Sea areas A1 and A2.
This section contains the additional equipment requirements for ships that
remain within sea areas A1 or A2 at all times. Ships fitting in accordance
with this section satisfy the sea area A1 requirements denoted in Sec. 80.1087.
(a) In addition to meeting the requirements of Sec. 80.1085, ships engaged on
voyages beyond sea area A1, but remaining within sea area A2, must be
provided with:
(1) An MF radio installation capable of transmitting and receiving, for
distress and safety purposes, on the frequencies:
(i) 2187.5 kHz using DSC; and
(ii) 2182 kHz using radiotelephony;
(2) A radio installation capable of maintaining a continuous DSC watch on
the frequency 2187.5 kHz which may be separate from or combined with, that
required by paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section; and
(3) Means of initiating the transmission of ship-to-shore distress alerts by
a radio service other than MF operating either:
(i) 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
(ii) On HF using DSC; or
(iii) Through the INMARSAT geostationary satellite service if within
INMARSAT coverage; this requirement may be fulfilled by an INMARSAT ship
earth station.
(b) It must be possible to initiate transmission of distress alerts by the
radio installations specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(3) of this
section from the position from which the ship is normally navigated.
(c) Ships subject to this section must be capable of transmitting and
receiving general radiocommunications using radiotelephony or
direct-printing telegraphy by either:
(1) A radio installation operating on working frequencies in the bands
between 1605–4000 kHz or between 4000–27500 kHz (this requirement may be
fulfilled by the addition of this capability to the equipment required by
paragraph (a)(1) of this section); or
(2) An INMARSAT ship earth station.
