Module 1 - Licensing & SRC Exam
Ship Radio Licensing
Do not confuse the operator certificate with the licence for the radio equipment. A vessel radio installation and a portable handheld radio can have different licensing arrangements.
For revision, remember the practical link: licensing provides identities such as callsigns and MMSI numbers, while the SRC prepares you to use the equipment correctly.
Key points
- Operator certificate: proves the person is qualified
- Ship or portable licence: authorises the equipment
- MMSI identity must match the licensed equipment arrangement
