The USA, Canadian, and International channel lists provided in this Appendix are for 

reference only. It is the responsibility of the radio operator to ensure that channels are used 

correctly according to local regulations.

For the latest information on USA channels, visit 

www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms 

. Also visit the Federal Communications Commission’s Marine VHF Radio 

Channels page at 

http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service 

. The FCC page does not include frequency information, but 

has more complete information on the use of the channels.
IMPORTANT: Boaters primarily should use channels listed as non-commercial. Use 

Channel 16 to call other stations or for distress alerting. Use Channel 13 to contact a ship 

when there is danger of collision. All ships of length 20 m or greater are required to guard 

VHF Channel 13, in addition to VHF Channel 16, when operating within USA territorial 

waters. Users may be fined by the FCC for improper use of these channels.
