This bestselling book provides an incomparable reference source for all vessels using maritime radio communication systems, which are now a legislative requirement. It includes exhaustive coverage of all UK and international regulations relating to modern maritime communications.
Testo aggiuntivo
"I have known the authors since the introduction of the new marine radio systems and regulations in the early ‘90s. They have both made significant contributions to the advancements of the GMDSS in the UK, advancements which are reflected in their work for AMERC Ltd and in their excellent Handbook for Marine Radio Communications which provides an ideal reference for ship's crews and students alike."
- Keith Mitchell, AMERC Chief Examiner (GMDSS)
