Maritime two-way radios for the water and the wharf

Ports and vessels depend on clear radio communication for berthing, towage, pilotage, cargo handling and safety. Crews work in salt spray, rain and heavy machinery noise, often far from mobile coverage. Radio Industries supplies marine VHF and HF radios, GMDSS handhelds, satellite push-to-talk and rugged land radios for ports, terminals, tug and workboat operators and maritime crews across Australia. Our maritime two-way radios are built for salt, spray and long days on the water.

What ports and maritime teams use

Marine VHF radios

Fixed-mount and handheld VHF radios from Icom, GME, Entel and Uniden. See marine radios.

GMDSS handhelds

MED-certified radios such as the Entel HT649P2 for vessel safety equipment.

Satellite push-to-talk

The Icom IC-SAT100 keeps crews connected beyond mobile and VHF range.

Rugged wharf radios

IP68 digital radios and vehicle radios for stevedores, straddle carriers and terminal staff. See handheld radios.

Repeaters and coverage

Repeaters to cover terminals, container stacks and long wharves. See repeaters.

Antennas

Marine and land antennas matched to each radio. See antennas.

Features that matter at sea and on the wharf

Waterproof and floating designs for work over water
DSC and GPS on supported marine radios for distress alerting
Loud, noise-cancelling audio near engines, cranes and heavy plant
Separate land and marine channels for terminal operations and vessel traffic
Satellite or PoC backup where VHF and mobile coverage run out

Coverage and licensing

Marine VHF radios on vessels operate under a ship station licence (see the ACMA's maritime ship licence options), while terminal operations usually run on private licensed channels. Our system design team can plan coverage around stacks, cranes and long wharves.

Supply and support

We program radios before dispatch, supply spares and accessories, and service and repair radios. Related page: transport and logistics. Contact us for availability, lead times or a suitable alternative.

Two-Way Radios for Ports & Maritime FAQs

Which radio do I need on a commercial vessel?

It depends on the vessel's class and area of operation, which can require fixed VHF with DSC, GMDSS handhelds and other equipment. Check your survey requirements, then talk to us about compliant models. See marine radios.

Can port staff use the same radios as vessels?

Terminal and wharf teams usually use land radios on private channels, while vessels use marine VHF. Some operations use both. We can set up radios for each team.

What happens when we are out of VHF or mobile range?

Satellite push-to-talk radios such as the Icom IC-SAT100 work almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky.

Are your marine radios waterproof?

Most of our handheld marine radios are rated IP67 or better, and some models float. Check the rating on each product page.

Can you cover a large container terminal?

Yes. Container stacks block signals, so larger terminals often need repeaters. Call 1300 266 682 to discuss your site.
