◆ Inter-ship channels are for communications between
ship stations. Inter-ship communications should be
restricted to Channels 6, 8, 72 and 77. If these are not
available, the other channels marked for Inter-ship
may be used.
◆ Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective
Calling (DSC) and is not available for regular voice
communications.
Notes:
1. Channel 06 may also be used for communications
between ship stations and aircraft engaged in
coordinated search and rescue operations. Ship
stations should avoid harmful interference to such
communications on channel 06 as well as to
communications between aircraft stations, ice
breakers and assisted ships during ice seasons.
2. Within the European Maritime Area and in Canada,
channels 10, 67 and 73 may also be used by the
individual administrations concerned for
communication between ship stations, aircraft stations
and participating land stations engaged in coordinated
search and rescue and anti-pollution operations in
local areas. Channels 10 or 73 (depending on location)
are also used for the broadcast of Marine Safety
Information by the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency
in the UK only.
3. Channel 13 is designated for use on a worldwide basis
as a navigation safety communication channel,
primarily for inter-ship navigation safety
communications.
4. Channels 15 and 17 may also be used for on-board
communications provided the effective radiated power
does not exceed 1 Watt.
