Our large team of experienced Radio Surveyors, accredited by the MCA, operates from Radio Survey and Inspection Service Regional Offices in 15 ports around the UK, providing a nationwide Radio Survey service. They are trained and equipped to carry out Radio Surveys and Inspections on GMDSS installations for all categories of vessels and equipment, from fishing vessels to the largest passenger liners.
