🔍 Key Concepts

• Scope and purpose of a radio survey on a vessel • Which document specifically relates to the vessel’s radio station authorization • Difference between safety certificates under SOLAS and licensing documents

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: after a radio survey is successfully completed, is the result usually a safety certificate or a license/authorization? • Which of these choices is clearly tied to radio communications equipment and its legal operation, rather than to the vessel’s overall safety construction/equipment? • Consider what type of document an administration or FCC would issue to confirm a ship’s radio installation is approved to operate.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a license for the ship’s radio station, not a general safety certificate. • Verify which documents are normally issued under SOLAS Chapter I (survey and certification) and which fall under communications regulations (e.g., FCC/flag administration). • Eliminate any option that primarily certifies hull, machinery, and life-saving appliances rather than radio equipment.
