Vessel registration (equivalent to U.S.C.G. documentation) is a one time fee in Canada, presently $250, but there is an annual fee for a ship's station license. The Restricted Operator Certificate (Maritime) is for life. __Steve Thomas Frederick G Street via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

Steve, Good point. I will check in the materials I have if there is something about some reciprocal agreement. I think that there was something there about honouring the local rules, as long as the boat was “visiting”, i.e. only temporary, for a limited amount of time etc. Kind of, similar to

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

My understanding of the situation is as follows: Unless something has quietly changed quite recently, international rules require licenses for both operators and vessels. Countries are within their rights to add or subtract rules within their own territorial jurisdictions. Canadian

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

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.  Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

Steve, Is it that you need a station licence? 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

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

What Fred said is correct. 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

Re: Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

Glenn — technically, yes, you do need a Ship’s Station license to use VHF, radar, AIS, SSB, etc. outside the U.S. The BoatUS-issued MMSIs are good only in territorial US waters. 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

My boat has a registered AIS and MMSI. Easy to do online I did not require any license, nor do I have one. Cheers. Tom Sent from Outlook From: CnC-List on behalf of Andrew Burton via CnC-List

Stus-List AIS and MMSI as well as marine radio use in Canada

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? I believe the answer is yes. Also, if the vessel has AIS and MMSI, I believe that is necessary to have a ship station license and have
