All operators of maritime VHF radios must hold, as a minimum requirement, a Maritime VHF Radio Operator Certificate. Knowing how to use a maritime VHF radio correctly is vital in the event of an emergency. There are certain protocols that must be followed when communicating over the maritime radio network. Maritime VHF radios can be used for listening to weather forecasts, communicating between boats or communicating boat to shore.
