Subject: Radio Surveys

Good Afternoon Rick & Gordon,

As discussed this afternoon with Rick, we have considered the requirements of NSCV C7B, NSAMS and the National Law act Section 6 and believe that, for
the purposes of issuing a certificate under 503, a vessel complies with the criteria for issue provided it is equipped with a HF radio that is licenced and
functional.

We would recommend that provided an accredited surveyor has verified that the vessel has a ships radio apparatus licence and completed a satisfactory test
call a certificate can be issued.

Kind Regards

Rob Maher
