25.01.2022 Marine Rescue TV latest episode

25.01.2022 BOATING SAFETY ALERT The issue with VHF marine radio interference along the Illawarra coastline has been resolved. A radio had been transmitting for more than 2...0 hours, potentially preventing Marine Rescue NSW bases at Port Kembla, Shoalhaven, Jervis Bay, Sussex Inlet and Ulladulla from hearing distress calls. The source was successfully located on land late this afternoon. Tracking down a signal on land with a vessel-based Radio Direction Finder is challenging, as this makes triangulation more difficult. Thank you to the Illawarra media and boaters who cooperated with our public appeal to check their boats’ radios.

25.01.2022 Congratulations to Marine Rescue Shoalhaven members Mike Boadle and Brian Earsman, awarded Commissioner's Citations at today's meeting.

21.01.2022 BOATING SAFETY ALERT Boaters in the Shoalhaven area have been asked to double-check that their VHF radios are switched off as a matter of urgency. A boat’s radio has been left on since early yesterday evening, meaning it has been transmitting non-stop for about the past 20 hours, which is interfering with VHF marine radio transmissions along the Illawarra coastline from Port Kembla to Ulladulla. ... This is a public safety issue for boaters on these waters as the interference may mean radio operators at the Marine Rescue Shoalhaven radio base cannot hear distress calls or other contacts from other boaters. This is particularly problematic if the boat with the radio switched on is sitting between the radio base and another boat in trouble. Boaters are urged to check their radios as soon as possible.
