[接上页] (a) an MF radio installation capable of transmitting and receiving, for distress and safety purposes, on the frequencies- (i) 2187.5 kHz using DSC; and (ii) 2182 kHz using radiotelephony;(b) a radio installation capable of maintaining a continuous DSC watch on the frequency 2187.5 kHz which may be separate from, or combined with, that required by paragraph (a)(i); and (c) means of initiating the transmission of ship-to-shore distress alerts by a radio service other than MF operating either- (i) through the polar orbiting satellite service on 406 MHz; this requirement may be fulfilled by the satellite EPIRB, required by section 7(1)(f), either by installing the satellite EPIRB close to, or by remote activation from, the position from which the ship is normally navigated; (ii) on HF using DSC; or (iii) through the Inmarsat geostationary satellite service; this requirement may be fulfilled by- (L.N. 110 of 1998) (A) the equipment specified in paragraph (c)(ii); or (B) the satellite EPIRB, required by section 7(1)(f), either by installing the satellite EPIRB close to, or by remote activation from, the position from which the ship is normally navigated.(2) It shall be possible to initiate transmission of distress alerts by the radio installations specified in subsection (1)(a) and (c) from the position from which the ship is normally navigated. (3) Every ship referred to in subsection (1) shall, in addition, be capable of transmitting and receiving general radiocommunications using radiotelephony or direct-printing telegraphy by either- (a) a radio installation operating on working frequencies in the bands between 1605 kHz and 4000 kHz or between 4000 kHz and 27500 kHz; this requirement may be fulfilled by the addition of this capability in the equipment required by subsection (1)(a); or (b) an Inmarsat ship earth station. (L.N. 110 of 1998)(4) The Director may exempt ships constructed before 1 February 1997, which are engaged exclusively on voyages within sea area A2, from the requirements of section 7(1)(a)(i) and (b) provided such ships maintain, when practicable, a continuous listening watch on VHF channel 16. This watch shall be kept at the position from which the ship is normally navigated. (Enacted 1992) Cap 369AR s 10 Additional radio equipment-sea areas A1, A2 and A3 (1) In addition to meeting the requirements of section 7, every ship engaged on voyages beyond sea areas A1 and A2, but remaining within sea area A3, shall, if it does not comply with the requirements of subsection (2), be provided with- (a) an Inmarsat ship earth station capable of- (L.N. 110 of 1998) (i) transmitting and receiving distress and safety communications using direct-printing telegraphy; (ii) initiating and receiving distress priority calls; (iii) maintaining watch for shore-to-ship distress alerts, including those directed to specifically defined geographical areas; and (iv) transmitting and receiving general radiocommunications, using either radiotelephony or direct-printing telegraphy; and(b) an MF radio installation capable of transmitting and receiving, for distress and safety purposes, on the frequencies- (i) 2187.5 kHz using DSC; and (ii) 2182 kHz using radiotelephony; and(c) a radio installation capable of maintaining a continuous DSC watch on the frequency 2187.5 kHz which may be separate from or combined with that required by paragraph (b)(i); and (d) means of initiating the transmission of ship-to-shore distress alerts by a radio service operating either- (i) through the polar orbiting satellite service on 406 MHz; this requirement may be fulfilled by the satellite EPIRB, required by section 7(1)(f), either by installing the satellite EPIRB close to, or by remote activation from, the position from which the ship is normally navigated; or (ii) on HF using DSC; or (iii) through the Inmarsat geostationary satellite service, by an additional ship earth station or by the satellite EPIRB required by section 7(1)(f), either by installing the satellite EPIRB close to, or by remote activation from, the position from which the ship is normally navigated. (L.N. 110 of 1998)(2) In addition to meeting the requirements of section 7, every ship engaged on voyages beyond sea areas A1 and A2, but remaining within sea area A3, shall, if it does not comply with the requirements of subsection (1), be provided with- (a) an MF/HF radio installation capable of transmitting and receiving, for distress and safety purposes, on all distress and safety frequencies in the bands between 1605 kHz and 4000 kHz and between 4000 kHz and 27500 kHz using- (i) DSC; (ii) radiotelephony; and (iii) direct-printing telegraphy;(b) equipment capable of maintaining DSC watch on 2187.5 kHz, 8414.5 kHz and on at least one of the distress and safety DSC frequencies 4207.5 kHz, 6312 kHz, 12577 kHz or 16804.5 kHz; at any time, it shall be possible to select any of these DSC distress and safety frequencies. This equipment may be separate from, or combined with, the equipment required by paragraph (a); |
