First Coding EPIRB
Prices incl. VAT plus shipping costs
An EPIRB - and thus also a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon), i.e. a COSPAS-SARSAT satellite radio beacon - is generally subject to registration in Germany.
EPIRBs as well as PLBs are registered on a ship-by-ship basis. This means that the MMSI of your own ship is programmed into the device.
Therefore, please enter the required ship data in the last step of the order under "Remarks":
- Ship name
- MMSI
- IMO no. (if available)
- Call sign
- Flag
You can also send us a copy (e-mail attachment) of the first page of your Ship Station Licence (certificate of assignment).
You will receive the corresponding coding certificate (including 15-digit HEX ID code, "protected message") with the device, which you submit to the Federal Network Agency, Hamburg field office.
The form for the "Application for the allocation of numbers of the mobile maritime and inland waterway radio call sign, MMSI and ATIS for recreational navigation (SHIP STATION LICENCE)" is used for new applications and applications for amendments.
You can find it here: www.bundesnetzagentur.de
The details of your EPIRB / PLB will then be stored with the ITU* and the MRCC** Bremen so that appropriate action can be taken in the event of an emergency at sea. For example, a telephone call can be made to a designated person on shore to check whether it may be a genuine emergency.
