🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) VHF distress, urgency, and safety procedures • The difference between distress/calling channels and working/follow-on channels • SOLAS requirements for portable survival craft VHF radios and which channel they must be able to use

💭 Think About

• Which VHF channel is traditionally used to make the initial distress or calling transmission, and which channel is used to continue the conversation afterward? • Look at each option: which channel is primarily for distress/calling, which is for bridge-to-bridge safety, which is for intership safety/search and rescue, and which is mainly for digital selective calling (DSC)? • For a survivor in a liferaft with a handheld VHF, which channel would be the standard international voice follow-on channel after initial contact is made?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which channel is the international distress, safety, and calling channel for voice on VHF. • Verify which channel is reserved for VHF DSC (Digital Selective Calling), noting that this is not a normal voice follow-on channel. • Check SOLAS/GMDSS guidance for survival craft VHF radios: they must be able to operate on Ch-16 and one specific intership safety/follow-on channel.
