Antenna Layout
The position of the VHF and GNSS – antennas must be added to the existing antenna layout
of the vessel.
3.12 Power Supply
The NAUTICAST must be supplied from the emergency power source. A further requirement
is to connect AIS to the reserve power source of the GMDSS. A new battery capacity
calculation must then be undertaken. See sample in 9.1 (Samples for battery calculation)
