DSC (Digital Selective Calling)
It is important to distinguish between
pleasure boats and coastal fishing boats.
Coastal fishing boats
The Decree 26.07.2004 no. 231 makes it OBLIGATORY – as from 01.01.2005 – for all
vessels not subject to the SOLAS agreement (coastal fishing units up to 24 metres,
new or existing) to have on board at least one VHF station able to transmit and
receive in DSC Class D.
Pleasure boats
For pleasure boats
there is still no obligation although it is advisable to carry VHF equipment with
DSC on board to ensure the safety of vessels sailing off shore. It’s hard to believe,
but drawing attention to a vessel at sea is far from easy. Almost any shipwreck
survivor in the world will confirm this - dozens of ships pass close by their
rafts before they are spotted. Today technology offers many types of equipment
to facilitate the identification of small vessels. They must all be approved by
a notified body in compliance with the Directive 1999/05/EC R&TTE and, where scheduled,
they must be inspected by Ministry of Communications technicians to obtain the
operating licence. Equipment approved and purchased before coming into force of
the above directive can continue to be used.
Icom is a world leader in the
production and distribution of transceivers, and also the equipment designed specifically
for the nautical sector features innovative design and the latest construction
technologies resulting in a high quality, dependable safe product to satisfy any
nautical communication requirement. Notes on regulations to be observed in use
of the above equipment. For updated information on the regulations for pleasure
boats, consult the COASTGUARD link.
Notes
on the provisions to be observed on the use of such apparatuses
Portable
Vhf: searching for small vessels in rough seas is always difficult, especially
if there are big waves or conditions of limited visibility. In these cases also
a portable Vhf can guide the rescue operations via radio.
Vhf connected
to GPS: the most effective solution for directing rescue operations towards
a specific area is the Vhf GMDSS, provided with DSC and connected to the GPS.
By pressing the appropriate keys on the DSC of the Vhf in sequence, it is possible
to launch a call for help complete with the position of the vessel at that moment.
The rescue team will then assess the drift or leeway of the vessel from the last
position to direct the rescue units towards the vessel in difficulty. If the devices
continue to operate they will automatically transmit the updated position.
