Appendix B: Channel List

•

Intership channels are for communications between ship stations. Intership commu-
nications should be restricted to Channels 6, 8, 72 and 77. If these are not available,
the other channels marked for Intership may be used.

•

Channels 10, 67 and 73 should be avoided within VHF range of coastal areas in
Europe and Canada.

•

Channel 70 is used exclusively for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and is not avail-
able 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 communi-
cations between aircraft stations, ice breakers and assisted ships during ice seasons.

2. 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 com-

munication channel, primarily for intership 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.

5. The use of Channels 75 and 76 should be restricted to navigation related communi-

cation only and all precautions should be taken to avoid harmful interference to
channel 16. Transmit power is limited to 1 Watt.
