    This item is for purchasing an MMSI number for a vessel. If you need an MMSI number for a handheld marine VHF radio which will not be associated with a specific vessel, please click here: MMSI for Handheld

    An MMSI number is a 9-digit code required in AIS transponders, and also used in VHF marine radio equipment, EPIRB's, and all INMARSAT satellite terminals.

    All vessels operating on the high seas require a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number to participate in the Global Maritime Distress & Safety System (GMDSS). In addition to GMDSS participation, the MMSI number also serves as a unique identifier of the vessel for all communications.

    An MMSI number is assigned to a vessel, not a vessel owner. Only one MMSI number is needed per boat, regardless of the number of different communications devices on board.

    MMSI numbers assigned to handheld radios follow a different format, so please be sure that you select the right MMSI number for your use requirements. If you need an MMSI number for a handheld marine VHF radio which will not be associated with a specific vessel, please click here: MMSI for Handheld

    MMSI numbers assigned by Shine Micro can be used on AIS transponders, VHF radios, EPIRBs, etc.
    If you already have an MMSI number you do not need to purchase another one.
    Please refer to the information below to determine if you may already have an MMSI number.
