Use of analogue/digital VHF channels

With regard to SOLAS Chapter IV and its upcoming revision, and taking into account the IMO guidance on the validity of radio communications equipment installed and used on ships ( MSC.1/Circ.1460/as revised ), the NSI requires:

  1. ships sailing in waters under jurisdiction of the Netherlands,

  2. ships flying the flag of the Netherlands, and

  3. manufacturers, service providers and type approval bodies of VHF equipment, based in the Netherlands or rendering services to ships flying the flag of the Netherlands,

to comply with the requirement, as set out in the Netherlands Statement on implementation of WRC-15 decisions relating to the future use of analogue/digital channels as stipulated in RR Appendix 18, in order to ensure that until the first radio survey after 1 January 2028 the VHF channels 21, 22, 23, 80, 81, 82 and 83 in VHF equipment remain programmed for analogue modulation on board.

Iridium receiver(s) capable of receiving MSI and SAR related information

SOLAS regulation IV/7.1.4 requires that every ship shall be provided with a receiver or receivers capable of receiving Maritime Safety Information, as defined in SOLAS regulation IV/2.1.10, and search and rescue related information as part of the GMDSS, throughout the entire voyage in which the ship is engaged.

SOLAS regulation IV/7.1.4 refers to MSC.1/Circ.1645 providing guidance on the equipment which should be installed on board ships to meet the requirements of SOLAS chapter IV.

The NSI allows for Iridium receiver(s) capable of receiving broadcasts from the international EGC service provided by the International Iridium SafetyCAST service, to be installed on board a ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, provided that:

  1. the Iridium receiver(s) comply with the requirements of the EU Directive 2014/90/EU on marine equipment, as amended; and

  2. reception of the MSI and SAR related information, for the intended trading area, has been ensured1.

The phased implementation process of the international Iridium SafetyCAST service in the NAVAREAs and METAREAs has not yet been completed. Subsequently, ships relying upon the international Iridium SafetyCAST service for MSI and SAR information should, when operating outside NAVTEX service areas:

  1. only rely upon the international Iridium SafetyCast service for MSI in areas where the MSI provider, the corresponding NAVAREA or METAREA coordinator, declares themselves at Full Operational Capability FOC with the international Iridium SafetyCAST service. The IMO publishes the status of it in GISIS; and

  2. mitigate the risks of operating in an area where an MSI provider has not declared itself at FOC with the international Iridium SafetyCAST service. The owner and master of the ship are responsible for ensuring receipt of the MSI and SAR information by alternative means.
