Q

Which type of EPIRB must each ocean-going ship carry?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS ocean-going ships and their minimum radio lifesaving equipment • Difference between Class and Category EPIRBs and which are still accepted under GMDSS • Which EPIRB types are intended for automatic float-free activation on sinking

💭 Think About

• Think about which EPIRB type is specifically required for large, SOLAS‑class, seagoing vessels rather than for small boats or older, now‑obsolete equipment. • Ask yourself: which type is designed to activate automatically if the ship sinks and is mounted in a float‑free bracket? • Consider which EPIRB designations (Class A, B, C, Category 1) are older/legacy and which are used in the current GMDSS scheme for ocean‑going ships.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which EPIRB types (Class A, B, C) are associated with older 121.5/243 MHz beacons and whether they are still accepted for SOLAS ocean‑going ships. • Check which option refers to an automatic float‑free, 406 MHz EPIRB that will activate when submerged and float clear of a sinking vessel. • Confirm in current SOLAS / GMDSS requirements which EPIRB type is specifically mandated for sea area A1–A4 ocean‑going ships.
