Hello all

A while back someone posted the address where one could do an online search for a boat info - this search would then list name, owner, MMSI, callsigns etc.

I cannot seem to find the related post (and hence the address)

could someone please post the link?

Cheers
Charles

Interesting link ... Thanks!. Doesn't really give a lot away except for licence holders name and callsign, but still a bit surprised it gets away under the data-protection laws. (or is that now overruled by the freedom-of-information laws!).

In the long gone days of VHF link-calls, availability of the three pieces of information might have been quite an issue (they took the callsign off the licence sticker for just that reason). Doesn't it still apply to SSB link calls?

At least a good resource for checking how common a boat name is before choosing it .... I note that I have the only boat of that name possessing a licence, even though I know of at least two others with the same name!

The ITU is pretty out of date. - we have had an MMSI for months and it isn't showing on ITU. I think that there is an MCA one somewhere

Interestingly I had it pointed out to me that I have a MMSI number allocated to me by this site. But I do not have set with DSC capabilities.

I applied for my license (with the new boat) in November and they seem to take it for granted that you need a MMSI these days.

PK.
