VHF Maritime Mobile Service

VHF Maritime Mobile Service is a radio communication system used by ships and coastal stations within the coastal waters and nearshore areas. Operating in the 156 to 174 MHz frequency band, it allows maritime vessels to communicate with each other, port authorities, and emergency services for navigation, safety, and coordination. The system enables quick, reliable voice communication, essential for safe maritime operations, especially during distress situations or routine navigational updates. Its short-range nature helps prevent interference and ensures clear communication within a limited area, making it a vital tool for daily maritime activities and safety management.
