From my understanding the MMSI number, if gotten through Boatus is still good in international waters, but any information about your vassal is not listed. Where one from the FCC, your information is listed during an emergency contact to local Coast Guard.

I think it is an operator licence that you require for operating VHF (and you need one if you have a VHF on board). If I remember correctly from the course I took a few years back, that licence is valid across the border, provided that it is valid in your local jurisdiction. For sure your MMSI has to be valid for international waters (so, in case of the US, you need an FCC licence). And I think, if you have SSB, it is a totally different story.

His comments usually are. I would add that the station license requirement was supposed to have been eliminated for border area waters by an agreement between Canada and the United States that was awaiting the final formality in the approval process when the 911 terrorist attacks occurred. In the ensuing freak out, the U.S.government refused to finalize the agreement, and that was that. I have never heard of anyone getting in trouble for not having a pleasure craft station license on the Great Lakes, but all it would take is one unreasonable enforcement officer.

But like Andrew said, you most likely won’t be asked for it. The form you need is FCC 605; it is used for a variety of licensing (like aircraft and amateur radio), so you have to make sure to fill out the appropriate sections. The FCC online forms website is pretty good; I used it last month to renew my license: https://www.fcc.gov/fcc-form-605 <https://www.fcc.gov/fcc-form-605> — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On Apr 9, 2017, at 5:12 PM, Glenn Gambel via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > If a boat crosses from the United States in to Canada and stops at a >Canadian port, must the vessel (sailboat) have a ships station license from >the FCC?
