How Many Explosion-Proof Radios Should a Ship Be Equipped With?

27 Mar.,2025

 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has strict regulations regarding the number of explosion-proof radios that must be carried on board ships. But how many exactly? Let's dive into the details.

 

SOLAS Regulations

The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) mandates that every ship's firefighting team must carry at least two explosion-proof marine radios for effective communication during emergencies. However, it's generally recommended to have four radios to ensure there are enough in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

 

Choosing the Right Marine Radio

When selecting marine radios, it's essential to consider factors such as the ship's intended route and the specific requirements of your operations. For instance:

  • European routes: The A600V marine radio is recommended due to its compliance with European standards.
  • Asian or other routes: The A300V marine radio is often a suitable choice.
