Module 4 - Channels & Frequencies

Marina, Port, And Local Channels

Marinas, ports, harbour authorities, bridges, locks, and traffic services may use local working channels. Some UK marina traffic uses Channel 80 or M channels, but you must check the local source rather than assume.

Calling a harbour on the wrong channel is not just untidy; it can delay traffic instructions or block a different service.

Key points

  • Check the almanac or local notices before arrival.
  • Use the harbour or marina's published channel.
  • Keep calls short and practical: who you are, where you are, what you request.
  • Follow channel changes promptly.
