Введение
Целью данного учебного пособия является развитие и

закрепление навыков профессиональной устной речи на
английском языке на материале текстов по УКВ-связи,
включающих процедуру радиообмена, функции береговых и
судовой радиостанций, фактический или «живой» радиообмен, а
так же материал текстов метеосообщений, передаваемых
информационными службами по обеспечению безопасности на
море ( Maritime Safety Information Services).
Радиотелефония и еѐ подвид УКВ-связь представляют собой
речемыслительный процесс, одинаково сложный для
осуществления, как носителями английского языка, так и
участниками радиообмена, для которых данный язык не является
родным.
В методическом плане УКВ-связь является «возвратным
слушанием «reciprocal listening», скоротечным по времени и
требующим немедленного принятия решения вахтенным
помощником капитана, поскольку ‘there is no time in maritime
radiotelephony for «what do you say» dialogue’.
Предлагаемый в пособии ситуационный тренинг позволит, на
наш взгляд, сформировать механизм вероятностного
прогнозирования сообщения, лежащий в основе восприятия
стереотипных речевых конструкций на слух; равным образом
данный тренинг, включающий реальные станции и реальные
ситуации, будет способствовать прочному усвоению навыков
аудирования профессиональной речи операторов связи.
Для закрепления навыков устной речи и развития навыков
восприятия гидрометеоинформации на слух рекомендуется
проводить работу на аудирование с применением технических
средств обучения.

1. What does a MF/HF marine licence show ?

2. Who can require to inspect the ship station licence and the radio
qualification of the operator?
5
Text One
1. Under the Radiocommunications Act 1992, the operation of

marine radio equipment aboard a vessel must be authorised by a licence.
In the case of shipboard radio equipment operating in the 27 MHz
and VHF marine bands, this authorisation is provided to any person by
means of a maritime ship station class licence. The class licence does
not have to be applied for and is free of cost. The maritime ship station
class licence also authorises the operation of ship's radar equipment and
on-board UHF marine communications equipment.
Frequencies authorised for use, technical and general requirements
for the operation of 27 MHz, VHF, radar and UHF on-board marine
equipment are shown in the Radiocommunications (Maritime Ship
Station - 27 MHz and VHF) Class Licence 2001. Operators of this
equipment are legally obliged to observe the conditions set out in this
document.
The operation of shipboard Inmarsat satellite radio terminals is
authorised by another class licence. The class licence is free of charge
and does not need to be issued individually.
Technical and general requirements for the operation of shipboard
Inmarsat terminals are shown in the Radiocommunications
(Communications with Space Object) Class Licence 1998. Operators of
this equipment are legally obliged to observe the conditions set out in
this document.
The operation of shipboard radio equipment operating in MF/HF
marine bands is not authorised by a class licence.
Individual apparatus licences that attract a fee are required.
Application for a MF/HF ship station (class B) licence may be made
in person at a regional office. Alternatively, a completed application
form together with the licence fee may be submitted by mail or through
the on-line licensing service.
A MF/HF marine licence shows the station licensee, the name and
the call sign of the vessel. Frequencies authorised for use, technical and
general requirements are detailed in the Radiocommunications Licence
Conditions (Maritime Ship Licence) Determination.
The station licensee is legally obliged to observe licence conditions
set out in this document.
6
By mutual agreement, a MF/HF ship station (class B) licence may
be transferred from one person or organisation to another person or
organisation. However, restrictions may apply where the original licence
holder is exempt from licence fees or pays a concessional licence fee.
Operators of shipboard radio equipment operating in the VHF and
MF/HF marine bands, and operators of most Inmarsat satellite radio
terminals are required to hold appropriate personal qualifications.
Neither class licences nor a MF/HF ship station (class B) licence
authorises the operation of a "home base».
2. Licensing of Other Shipboard Radiocommunication

Equipment
The Radiocommunications Act 1992 requires that the possession
and operation of all radio transmitters are authorised by a licence.
Licences are not required for the operation of satellite navigation
receivers (GPS).
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs), mobile
phones and Citizens Band (CB) transceivers aboard vessels are
authorised by class licences issued under the Radiocommunications Act
1992 and do not require individual licensing.
Authority of the Master
A ship radio station and the service it provides is placed under the
authority of the master or skipper, or the person responsible for the
safety of the vessel.
Inspection of Ship Stations
Officers in charge may ask that a ship radio station be made
available for inspection to ascertain that licence conditions are being
met.
Licensees of vessels travelling overseas should be aware that the
competent authorities in any country where the vessel may visit, can
require to inspect the ship station licence and the radio qualification of
the operator. Failure to produce these documents may result in an
inspection by these authorities to satisfy themselves that the radio
station conforms to the requirements of the International Radio
Regulations. Licensees of vessels proceeding overseas carrying 27
MHz, VHF and Inmarsat marine radio equipment should carry a copies
of the relevant class licences.
Secrecy of Communications
7
Under the International Radio Regulations, an operator and any
other person who becomes acquainted with the contents of a
radiotelegram, radiotelephone call or radiotelex call is placed under an
obligation to preserve the secrecy of such information.
Secrecy restrictions do not apply to distress, urgency or safety alerts
or messages, or any message that is addressed to "all stations".
Distress Calls
The obligation to accept distress alerts, calls and messages is
absolute and such messages must be accepted with priority over all
other radiocommunications.
False or Deceptive Distress, Urgency or Safety Signals
The transmission of false or deceptive distress, urgency or safety
signals is strictly forbidden. Extremely severe penalties, including
imprisonment, exist under the Radiocommunications Act 1992 for any
person found guilty of making such a transmission.
Unnecessary Transmissions
Transmissions should be as brief as possible consistent with the
legitimate requirement for which a station is licensed. Non essential
remarks, bad language and unnecessary conversations should be
avoided.
Log Keeping
Operators should keep a record of all distress alerts and messages
transmitted or received. Particulars should include the station or stations
with which the messages were exchanged, the frequencies used and the
date and times of transmission and reception.
Log keeping requirements for vessels compulsorily fitted with radio
equipment under State legislation may be found in the relevant
regulations.
Avoidance of Interference
Operators should take every precaution to ensure that their
transmissions will not cause harmful interference to other stations. It is
important that all operators:
listen before transmitting to ensure the frequency is not already
in use;
use the minimum transmitting power necessary for reliable
communications;
strictly observe the purpose for which a frequency is assigned;
and keep test signals to a minimum.
8
Ship Station Call Signs and Identities
A MF/HF ship station (class B) license will show the official
international call sign allocated to the vessel.
Each call sign is unique and is formed in one of two ways:
three letters, followed by four numbers; or four letters.
As an example, in conformity with Australia's international call sign
allocation, the first two letters will always be AX, VZ, VH, or in the
series VJ to VN.
Four letter call signs are allocated only to vessels subject to
compulsory radio installation under the Navigation Act 1912 (generally
commercial vessels making interstate and overseas voyages).
To illustrate this, a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) will
be issued by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) to a
ship station licensee with an installation capable of digital selective
calling techniques.
Transmissions from radio equipment aboard survival craft should be
identified by the use of the parent vessel's call sign followed by two
numbers (not 0 or 1). The numbers "22" are normally used.
From 1 July 2001 ship stations operating exclusively on 27 MHz
and/or VHF marine bands are not issued with a call sign. Operators
should use the name of the vessel or other suitable means of
identification.
3. Ship Station Identification

Transmissions without identification are forbidden.
A MF/HF ship station must be identified either by the use of the
official international call sign allocated by the appropriate authorities or
by the ship's name or, preferably, a combination of both. If using digital
selective calling the vessel's MMSI will automatically be inserted into
the transmission.
Ship stations operating exclusively on 27 MHz and/or VHF marine
bands may use the vessel's name or other suitable identification.
If transmitting radiotelephony distress, urgency or safety messages,
or if involved in search and rescue operations, the utmost care must be
taken to avoid confusion between vessels of the same or similar names.
If transmitting radiotelephony distress, urgency or safety messages,
or if involved in search and rescue operations, the use of an official call
9
sign is necessary to avoid confusion between vessels of the same or
similar names.
If no call sign is available then the full name or registered number
followed by port at which the name or registration is recorded can assist
in positively identifying the vessel. If the vessel is not registered then
other identification such as the trailer or parked vehicle registration
number followed by the ramp location where the vehicle is can help to
identify the owner in an emergency.
Information for Maritime Communication, Coast Radio and
Limited Coast Stations
Ship station operators are encouraged to provide departure,
positional and arrival information to a maritime communication station,
coast radio station or limited coast stations operated by marine rescue
organisations.
If undertaking a lengthy voyage, a position report should be passed
daily to a maritime communication station, coast radio station or limited
coast station operated by a marine rescue organisation.
This information may provide valuable assistance to search and
rescue authorities should an emergency situation occur.
Restrictions to the Use of Radio Equipment on Ships
Ship station licences authorise the use of radio equipment only
aboard vessels at sea or on inland waters. However, if a vessel is
anchored or moored, the use of the ship's radio station to communicate
with the nearest maritime communication, coast radio or limited coast
station is permitted providing the lowest practicable transmitting power
is used.
Due to the risk of explosion, radio transmissions must not be made
when a vessel is loading fuel, or when loading or discharging any
flammable cargo.
Documents to be Held On Board
In addition to the station licence and operator's certificate, a copy of
this handbook and material suitable for use as a radio log book should
be held aboard a vessel.
It is also recommended that information about the operating hours
of, and frequencies monitored by, limited coast stations in the areas the
vessel is travelling through should be available aboard to facilitate radio
communications. This information should be available from the relevant
authority or marine rescue organisation.

2. Maritime Communication Station Services

A maritime communication station is a station on land established
for the purpose of communicating with vessels at sea.
11
As an example, Australian maritime communication stations
provide the following services to vessels:
search and rescue (SAR) operations in conjunction with the
Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) in Canberra (RCC Australia);
weather forecasts and warnings for coastal waters and high seas
areas from the Bureau of Meteorology transmitted automatically; and
continuous automated watch of HF digital selective calling
(DSC) frequencies for distress calls for the purpose of safety of life at
sea.
Both Australian maritime communication stations are operated
by TVNZ(A).
The TVNZ Network Control Centre is co-located with the
Australian Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) operated by Australian
Search and Rescue (AusSAR) in Canberra. Search and rescue (SAR)
and safety of life at sea services are performed by the RCC on behalf of
the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
Location of Maritime Communication Stations
Under the current contract with TVNZ(A) radiocommunications to
vessels at sea are provided by two maritime communication stations –
Wiluna (WA) and Charleville (Qld). The network is designed to sense
the power of a transmission and respond from the appropriate station.
The two stations are centrally controlled from the network control centre
(NCC) in Canberra.
3. Identification of Maritime Communication Stations

Maritime communication stations can be contacted via a digital
selective calling service which is identified by a nine digit code known
as a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI). The MMSI for both
Australian maritime communication stations is 005030001.
After establishing contact by digital selective calling, Australian
maritime communication stations will switch to another channel and
respond with the call sign "RCC Australia".
Maritime communication stations may also respond with the use of
their official radiotelephony call sign, "RCC Australia, VIC (Victor
India Charlie)."
12
4. Monitoring of Frequencies by Maritime Communication
Stations
(Watch keeping)
Collectively the two maritime communication stations provide a
continuous watch of the HF digital selective calling frequencies
reserved for distress, urgency and safety. Maritime communication
stations do not have facilities to receive or transmit in the 27 MHz
marine band. Potential users should check if limited coast stations in
their local area are monitoring this frequency before relying on it for
communication.
Maritime communication stations do not provide aural monitoring
international radiotelephony distress and calling frequencies in the 2, 4,
6, 8, 12 and 16 MHz bands (2182, 4125, 6215, 8291, 12 290 and 16420
MHz) and the VHF marine band (VHF channel 16).
Potential users should check if limited coast stations in their local
area are monitoring these frequencies before relying on them for
communication.
Maritime communication stations do not provide MF digital
selective monitoring in the 2 MHz band (2187.5 kHz). Potential users if
limited coast stations in their local area are monitoring these frequencies
before relying on them for communication.
5. Broadcasts of Weather and Navigational Information from

Maritime Communication Stations
The Bureau of Meteorology provides automatically generated
broadcasts of routine weather forecasts and weather warning through
maritime communication stations. These frequencies are not monitored.
Full details of weather information provided by maritime
communication stations including frequencies used, areas covered and
broadcasting times may be found on the Bureau of Meteorology website
(www.bom.gov.au/marine).
6. Emergency Medical Advice

In urgent medical cases, a digital selective calling (DSC) urgency
alert may be used to establish communications with the maritime
communication stations. Maritime communication stations have formal
13
arrangements with health authorities and will relay medical advice to
and from vessels at sea in an emergency. This service is free of charge.

Pre-text questions
1. What categories do stations on land generally fall into?
2. In what way should local limited coast stations identify
themselves?
Text Three
1. Categories of Limited Coast Station

Limited coast stations are stations on land established for the
purpose of communicating with vessels at sea.
14
Such stations generally fall into one of the following categories:
stations serving the professional fishing industry;
stations established by the operators of small commercial
vessels such as charter vessels, tugs, etc;
stations established by boating and fishing clubs to provide a
service for their members;
stations established by port or harbour management authorities
to coordinate the movements of vessels within and near a port; or
stations established by recognised marine rescue organisations
to supplement the safety of life at sea service offered by coast radio or
maritime communication stations.
2. Services Provided by Limited Coast Stations

The service provided by limited coast stations is restricted to
communications concerning the safety, movements and operations of
vessels. This service may include communications relating to fishing or
other commercial operations, club events, the broadcast of weather and
navigational information, and search and rescue. Use of services other
than distress may be limited to members of organisations linked to the
limited coast station.
Generally, limited coast stations are not permitted to handle public
correspondence to or from destinations ashore.
Limited coast stations offer a service to vessels in the MF/HF, 27
MHz and VHF marine bands.
3. Hours of Operation for Limited Coast Stations

There are no fixed hours for the radio service provided by limited
coast stations and many do not offer a continuous service. Coast radio
stations operate 24 hours a day. Hours of operation are determined by
local requirements or, in some cases, by State government legislation.
In the interests of safety, ship radio station operators are
encouraged to familiarise themselves with local limited coast stations, in
particular those offering a marine rescue service, regarding hours of
operation and frequencies monitored.
15
4. Identification of Limited Coast Stations
Limited coast stations operating in the MF and HF marine bands
should identify themselves by use of their name and the official call sign
allocated to them.
Limited coast stations operating in the 27 MHz and VHF marine
bands may use their official call sign and/or other approved
identification such as the organisation's name.
Examples: Queensland Tug and Salvage, VKQ 445 Moreton
Bay Boat Club, Sandringham Coast Guard etc.
Limited coast stations offering a digital selective calling service are
identified by a nine digit code known as a Maritime Mobile Service
Identity (MMSI).

Text Four
1. Calling Procedures
As a general rule, it rests with the ship station to call and establish
communications with a maritime communication or limited coast
station. However, a maritime communication or limited coast station
wishing to communicate with a ship station may call that vessel if it
believes that it is within range and is keeping watch. A ship station
wishing to contact another station must first select a frequency that is
being monitored by that station. Before transmitting, the operator should
listen for a period long enough to be satisfied that harmful interference
will not be caused to communications already in progress.
When establishing communications by radiotelephony, the initial
call should be made in the following manner:
the name and/or call sign or other identification of the station
being called, spoken not more than three times;
the words THIS IS (or DE spoken as Delta Echo in case of
language difficulties); and
the name and/or call sign or other identification of the station
calling, spoken not more than three times.
This call should immediately be followed with the purpose of the
call, the working frequency that is suggested for the exchange of
messages and the word «OVER» (an invitation for the other station to
respond).
Example:
FREMANTLE SEA RESCUE
This is
SPINDRIFT VLW1234 SPINDRIFT VLW1234
SPINDRIFT VLW1234 POSITION REPORT
SUGGEST CHANGE TO 2201
OVER
When using radiotelephony frequencies in the VHF marine band

and communications conditions are good, the first part of a call may be
abbreviated to:
17
the name and/or call sign etc. of station being called, spoken
once;
the words THIS IS;
the name and/or call sign etc. of station calling, spoken twice.
Example:
SANDRINGHAM COAST GUARD
This is
SAUCY SUE VLV4567 SAUCY SUE VLV4567
POSITION REPORT
SUGGEST CHANGE TO CHANNEL 73
OVER
On all bands, once contact is established, station names and/or call
signs should be spoken once only.
Reverse calling, for example "TEMPEST VLS5678 CALLING
FREMANTLE SEA RESCUE", should be avoided.
2. Repeating Calls
When a station being called does not reply to a call sent three times
in the space of two minutes, calling should cease and not be renewed
until after an interval of three minutes.
However, before this, the calling station should be satisfied that
further calling is unlikely to cause interference and that the station being
called is not busy with other communications.
The restrictions concerning call repeats are, of course, not
applicable to ship stations making distress or urgency calls.
3. Replying to Calls
A station replying to a radiotelephony call should use the following
procedure:
the identification of the station which called, spoken not more
than three times;
the words THIS IS (or DE spoken as Delta Echo in the case of
language difficulties); and
the name and/or radiotelephony call sign of the station replying,
spoken not more than three times.
Procedures for replying to radiotelephony calls made on VHF
marine bands may be abbreviated in a similar manner to those described
in the calling procedures.
18
The reply should be immediately followed by an indication that the
replying station will also change to the working frequency suggested by
the calling station.
At this point both stations should adjust their radio equipment to
transmit and receive on the agreed working frequency (or frequencies)
and, after making sure that the frequency (or frequencies) is not
occupied by other stations, reestablish communications.
It is normal practice for the station which made the initial call on
the calling frequency to also make the initial call on the working
frequency. Once communications have been re-established, the
exchange of messages may proceed.
4. Signal for End of Work
The end of the exchange of radiotelephony messages on the

working frequency should be indicated by both stations by adding the
word "OUT".
Both stations should then resume monitoring of the appropriate
distress and calling frequency.
5. Difficulties in Establishing Communications by

Radiotelephony
If a vessel, maritime communication or limited coast station is

unable to communicate with a calling station immediately, it should
reply to a call followed by "wait ….. minutes".
Maritime communication stations or limited coast stations which are
busy with other ship stations may respond to a call from a vessel with
"your turn is number … ".
When a station receives a call without being certain that the call is
intended for it, it should not reply until that call has been repeated and
understood.
When a station receives a call which is intended for it, but is
uncertain of the identification of the calling station, it should reply
immediately asking for a repetition of the call sign or other
identification of the calling station.

Assignment
Speak on:
1. Making the initial call.
2. Replying to VHF radiotelephony calls.
Section 5. VHF procedures
Read through the text below, which is designed to give you further
practice in reading handouts and manuals.
With the description of the exchange procedures layout is vitally
important for clarity.
When using VHF (156–174 Mhz), call/reply is normally made on
Channel 16, but other arrangements may be available on other channels.
Prior to making a call it is first necessary to ensure there is no distress,
urgency or safety traffic in progress and that another communication is
not being interfered with. A call must not exceed one minute, but may
be repeated at three-minute intervals.
Here are two possible exchanges.
The first is an exchange procedure between two ships taken from
Seaspeak.
The second is an exchange procedure between a ship and a coast station
using standard procedure.
An outline of an intership exchange using Seaspeak:

'How do you read me?'
' Over.'
4. Indication of readability
'Read you strength ... go ahead.'
'Over.'
5. Message
'Message begins...'
'Message ends.'
'Over.'
6. Response to message
'Received message number...'
'Nothing for you.'
'Over.'
7. End of transmission
'Romeo nothing for you.'
'Out.'
If a station receives a call, but is uncertain that the call is actually

intended for it, it must wait until the call has been repeated and
understood.
In ship-to-shore communications, except in the cases of distress,
urgency or safety, the communications are controlled by the coast
station. In ship-to-ship communications the ship which is calling
22
controls the exchange. If a coast station finds it necessary to interrupt,
both ships must comply with any instructions given by the shore station.
Now complete this conversation exchange using the information above.

The exchange uses the Seaspeak procedure.

6.4 Message types
In order to understand a message completely it is necessary to know its

function. See if you can identify the function of these messages by
writing: question, instruction, advice, request, information, warning or
intention in the space provided, as appropriate.
Note: Instruction refers to commands and Advice to suggestions. A
Warning contains information of critical importance to the safety of the
vessel, and an Intention indicates immediate operational intentions.
(a) ----------: Buoy number two-six is unlit.

(b) ----------: What are my berthing instructions?
(c) ----------: No vessels are at the anchorage
(d) ----------: Go to berth number eight.
(e) ----------: What is your draught aft?
(f) ----------: Advise you keep your present course.
(g) ----------: I expect to be underway within period: two hours.
(h) ----------: Please provide fire-fighting assistance.
(i) ----------: Push on my port bow.
(j) ----------: The vessel ahead of you is stopping.
A message should always be initiated by a 'message marker', i.e. one of

the seven words above denoting message type. This will increase the
probability of the message being understood. The system also uses
'reply markers', which correspond as follows: question/answer,
instruction/ instruction-received, advice/advice-received, etc.
e.g. question: What is your ETA at the harbour entrance?
answer: My ETA at the harbour entrance is: time: one-four-zero-zero
UTC.
32
With the other markers, the message is quoted back in full after the
'reply marker' with any necessary changes made.
e.g. intention: I intend to reduce speed, new speed: five knots.
intention-received: You intend to reduce speed, new speed: five knots.

Use of Abbreviations in NAVTEX Weather Broadcasts
From 1 November 2006 a range of standard abbreviations were

introduced to weather forecasts broadcast on the international NAVTEX
(518 kHz) service. This change is necessary to reduce the length of
forecasts and overrunning.
1.The definition of visibility have been standardized as follows:
Term used in forecast Definition
Very poor Less than 0.5 nautical miles (nm)
Poor 0.5 nm to 2 nm
Moderate 2 nm to 5 nm
Good Greater than 5 nm
