Operational Use

The talkgroups are mainly used for:
        • Vessel-to-shore coordination
        • Wharf operations and safety
        • Maintenance and engineering support
        • Crew rostering and admin
        • Revenue protection and inspections

Communications are often unencrypted, making them accessible to scanners capable of decoding P25 Phase II trunked systems.
