Acronym for Maritime Mobile Service Identity. An MMSI number is a unique nine-digit code assigned to a Boat. Only one number is assigned for all applicable electronics on the vessel, such as an AIS transponder, DSC Radio, and EPIRB. MMSI registration also includes contact information to be used in case of an emergency.
Â
To obtain an MMSI number, owners & operators of VHF and MF/HF marine radios must hold a Marine Radio Operator’s Certificate of Proficiency. Courses for this qualification are coordinated by the Australian Maritime College, in Tasmania and volunteer invigilator (exam supervisor) around the country. Other Boat occupants should be encouraged to have a working understanding of the radio for emergency use.
