Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Marine Order prescribes mandatory radio safety equipment and procedures for Australian SOLAS, non‑SOLAS and harbour vessels so ships can send distress alerts, communicate with search-and-rescue coordinators, transmit location signals, and receive maritime safety broadcasts during emergencies and normal operations.
It requires specified VHF (DSC), MF/HF, satellite (INMARSAT for Sea Area A3), EPIRBs (406 MHz/1.6 GHz), handheld radios and radar transponders, plus certificates, manuals and a prescribed Radio Log‑Book. The Chief Marine Surveyor may grant narrow exemptions or vary portable radio requirements.

Radio Equipment
Order No. 9 of 2002
Pursuant to Section 425(1AA) of the Navigation Act 1912, I hereby make this Order repealing Marine Orders, Part 26, Issue 4 and Part 27, Issue 1, and substituting the attached Marine Orders, Part 27, Issue 2, to come into operation on 1 July 2002.

7.1 Every SOLAS ship, while at sea, must be capable of meeting the functional requirements set out in regulation 4 of Chapter IV of SOLAS.
7.2 Every non-SOLAS ship, while at sea, must be capable of providing for the safety of the ship, particularly the ability to:
perform ship-to-shore distress alerting by two independent means:
transmit ship-to-ship distress alerting;
transmit and receive on-scene communications, including appropriate SAR co-ordinating communications;
transmit locating signals, unless the Chief Marine Surveyor determines that the nature of the ship’s operations makes this requirement unnecessary; and
receive maritime safety information.
The installation on the ship must be capable of assisting other ships in distress, particularly the ability to:
receive shore-to-ship distress alerting; and
receive ship-to-ship distress alerting.
8.1 The radio installations[5], equipment, watchkeeping arrangements, sources of energy, performance standards[6], maintenance requirements,[7] personnel[8] and record-keeping[9] of a SOLAS ship must comply with the relevant provisions of regulations 6 to 18 (inclusive) of Chapter IV of SOLAS, the Radio Regulations, the STCW Convention and the STCW Code.[10]
8.2 The radio installations,[11] equipment, watchkeeping arrangements, sources of energy,[12] performance standards,[13] maintenance requirements,[14] personnel and record-keeping of a non-SOLAS ship must be such as to adequately enable the functional requirements set out in 7.2 to be met,[15] and comply with the relevant provisions of the Radio Regulations, the STCW Convention and the STCW Code.[16]
8.3 For the purposes of section 231E of the Navigation Act, Appendix 8 specifies the prescribed form of a radio log-book.[17]
8.4 A ship normally engaged in harbour duties must:[18]
be fitted with a VHF radio installation complying with A1(a) and A1(b) of Appendix 7; and
be provided with an approved 406 MHz or 1.6 GHz satellite EPIRB.
8.5 There must be carried on a ship:
the Safety Radio, or Radio, Certificate, the Record of Equipment, any applicable Certificate of Exemption, and other relevant statutory certificates;

Order No. 9 of 2002
Pursuant to Section 425(1AA) of the Navigation Act 1912, I hereby make this Order repealing Marine Orders, Part 26, Issue 4 and Part 27, Issue 1, and substituting the attached Marine Orders, Part 27, Issue 2, to come into operation on 1 July 2002.
Roger Timms
Acting Chief Executive Officer
21 June 2002
7.1 Every SOLAS ship, while at sea, must be capable of meeting the functional requirements set out in regulation 4 of Chapter IV of SOLAS.
7.2 Every non-SOLAS ship, while at sea, must be capable of providing for the safety of the ship, particularly the ability to:
perform ship-to-shore distress alerting by two independent means:
transmit ship-to-ship distress alerting;
transmit and receive on-scene communications, including appropriate SAR co-ordinating communications;
transmit locating signals, unless the Chief Marine Surveyor determines that the nature of the ship’s operations makes this requirement unnecessary; and

\- initiating and receiving distress priority calls;
\- transmitting and receiving general radio communications, using either radiotelephony or direct-printing telegraphy;
\- receiving Maritime Safety Information (MSI) using enhanced group calling;
(f) A 406 MHz EPIRB;
(g) Hand held VHF radiotelephone apparatus fitted with VHF channel 6, 13, 16 and 67;† and
(h) 9 GHz radar transponder(s), unless the Chief Marine Surveyor determines that the nature of the ship’s operations makes this requirement unnecessary.†

(b) A DSC Watchkeeping receiver for VHF channel 70 which may be separate or combined with the VHF radio installation above;
(c) A MF/HF radio installation with DSC capability;
(d) A MF/HF DSC watchkeeping receiver capable of maintaining a continuous DSC watch on 2187.5 kHz, 8414.5 and at least one of the distress and safety frequencies 4207.5, 6312, 12577 or 16804.5 kHz, and allowing, at any time, the selection if any of any of these distress and safety frequencies. This equipment may be combined with or separate from the above MF/HF radio installation;
(e) An INMARSAT ship earth station capable of receiving Maritime Safety Information (MSI) using enhanced group calling;
(f) A 406 MHz or 1.6 GHz EPIRB;
(g) Hand held VHF radiotelephone apparatus fitted with VHF channel 6, 13, 16 and 67;† and
(h) 9 GHz radar transponder(s), unless the Chief Marine Surveyor determines that the nature of the ship’s operations makes this requirement unnecessary.†
B. On international voyages
Non-SOLAS vessels shall be required to be fitted, in addition to equipment listed at item A above, with NAVTEX receiver when operating in NAVTEX areas.
C. On voyages in sea areas A3 and A4
(a) A VHF radio installation with DSC capability;\*
(b) A DSC Watchkeeping receiver for VHF channel 70 which may be separate or combined with the VHF radio installation above;
(c) A MF/HF radio installation with DSC capability;
(d) A MF/HF DSC watchkeeping receiver capable of maintaining a continuous DSC watch on 2187.5 kHz, 8414.5 and at least one of the distress and safety frequencies 4207.5, 6312, 12577 or 16804.5 kHz, and allowing, at any time, the selection if any of any of these distress and safety frequencies. This equipment may be combined with or separate to the above MF/HF radio installation;
