By international agreement, which ships must carry radio equipment for the safety of life at sea?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea Convention) requirements for radio equipment • Difference between cargo ship gross tonnage thresholds in international regulations • Passenger ship requirements, especially number of passengers carried

💭 Think About

• Think about what size of cargo ship is considered significant enough under SOLAS to require full radio safety equipment • Consider whether the rules apply to all ships offshore, or only to certain types and sizes of ships on international voyages • Ask yourself how passenger-carrying affects safety requirements compared with small cargo-only vessels

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the minimum gross tonnage at which international cargo ships must comply with SOLAS radio requirements • Check how many passengers triggers the stricter safety rules under SOLAS (look for the common cutoff number) • Confirm whether the rule covers all ships offshore or only certain cargo and passenger vessels engaged in international voyages
