Ships required by treaty, law, or regulation to carry survival craft radios must have working radio equipment for that purpose. The Commission sets whatever safety rules it finds necessary. The term "radio equipment" covers both portable and fixed devices.
This section has no lettered subsections; it states one rule. Every ship* that is required — by a treaty the United States* has joined, by a statute, or by a regulation made to match a treaty, convention, or statute — to carry survival craft radio must be fitted with efficient radio equipment matching that requirement. The equipment must meet whatever rules and regulations the Commission finds necessary for the safety of life. For purposes of this section, "radio equipment" includes both portable apparatus and equipment that is permanently installed.
Every ship* required to be provided with survival craft radio by treaty to which the United States* is a party, by statute, or by regulation made in conformity with a treaty, convention, or statute, shall be fitted with efficient radio equipment appropriate to such requirement under such rules and regulations as the Commission may find necessary for safety of life. For purposes of this section, “radio equipment” shall include portable as well as nonportable apparatus.
