Marine Radio (MROCP)

Marine Radios are available in 27 MHz, VHF and MF/HF. To operate a VHF, MF/HF radio (most of these radios are licensed) you must have a certificate.

To operate a marine radio you need skills and knowledge of the phonetic alphabet, fault-finding, maintenence, call signs, frequencies, and importantly the operational precedures and words to be used. SEA SCHOOL makes this easy with a step-by-step course.

The Marine Radio Certificates form part of your 100 point identification. Your name and contact details will be uploaded into the Search and Rescue National Database and you may be able to assist in the search and rescue of vessels in distress.

Should you lose your card, please contact the Office of Maritime Communication who will reissue your card for a fee. Furthermore, if you change your address or contact details, you need to contact the Office of Maritime Communication with your new information.
