Yachts entering mainland waters from Hong Kong are not as simple as changing waters. The Mainland has its own strict national standards and frequency requirements for shipboard communication and navigation equipment, especially AIS (Automatic Identification System) and VHF (Very High Frequency) radios.
Differences between the standards of the two places:
- AIS Standards: The mainland has specific requirements for the data format and transmit power of AIS equipment, and Hong Kong’s equipment may require parameter adjustments or software upgrades to fully comply with mainland maritime regulations.
- Radio Frequencies: There may be discrepancies in some maritime communication frequencies used between the two places, and non-compliant equipment may prevent effective communication with the Mainland maritime authorities in case of emergencies.
VOY professional “ID card” agency process:
The VOY team provides professional equipment certification services to ensure that your yacht is fully “legalized” when heading north:
