Module 1 - Licensing & SRC Exam
Admin Details That Matter In Emergencies
Licensing and registration can feel administrative until something goes wrong. A correct MMSI, call sign, vessel name, and beacon registration help rescue services connect an alert to the right vessel and contacts.
The exam habit is simple: keep identity details visible near the radio, know where the licence and certificate fit, and do not practise live DSC distress alerts outside authorised training conditions.
Key points
- Keep vessel name, call sign, and MMSI available at the radio.
- Update licence details when equipment or ownership changes.
- Register beacons and keep emergency contacts current.
- Use simulators or training sets for practice, not live distress functions.
