When I am not helping people with their licencing issues, I like to do a bit of hiking. This is what I saw on my morning hike to Lower Head in Twillingate today.

Is your VHF-DSC radio programmed and ready to use?

When the fishing vessel Sarah Anne (M20A0160) capsized suddenly, no distress signal was received. The vessel had a VHF-DSC radio, but it wasn’t programmed with a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (aka MMSI), so it couldn’t send a DSC alert.

In an emergency, crews may only have seconds. Making sure emergency equipment is properly set up and that crews know how to activate it can make a critical difference.

Decisions made at the dock shape what happens at sea—let’s make sure everyone makes it home this season.
