bands between 1,605 kHz and 4,000 kHz or between 4,000 kHz and 27,500 kHz.
This requirement may be fulfilled by the addition of this capability in
the equipment required by paragraph 1.1; or
.2 an INMARSAT ship earth station.
4 The Administration may exempt ship constructed before 1 February
1997, which are engaged exclusively on voyages within sea area A2, from
the requirements of regulations 7.1. 1.1 and 7.1.2 provided such ships
maintain, when practicable, a continuous listening watch on VHF channel
16. This watch shall be kept at the position from which the ship is
normally navigated.
Regulation 10 Radio equipment-Sea areas A1, A2 and A3
1 In addition to meeting the requirements of regulation 7, every ship
engaged on voyages beyond sea areas A1 and A2, but remaining within sea
area A3, shall, if it does not comply with the requirements of paragraph2, be provided with:
.1 an INMARSAT ship earth station capable of:
.1.1 transmitting and receiving distress and safety communications
using direct-printing telegraphy;
.1.2 initiating and receiving distress priority calls;
.1.3 maintaining watch for shore-to-ship distress alerts,
including those directed to specifically defined geographical areas;
.1.4 transmitting and receiving general radiocommunications, using
either radiotelephony or direct-printing telegraphy; and

for distress and safety purposes, on the frequencies:
.2.1 2,187.5 kHz using DSC; and
.2.2 2,182 kHz using radiotelephony; and

remote activation from, the position from which the ship is normally
navigated;
2 In addition to meeting the requirements of regulation 7, every ship
engaged on voyages beyond sea areas A1 and A2, but remaining within sea
area A3, shall, if it does not comply with the requirements of paragraph1, be provided with:
