The MROC Qualification (formally the RRTOC)

eNautical has taught hundreds of students the electronic lifeline of Marine Radio.

Competency in the use of radio transmitting equipment is required in aeronautical, amateur and maritime bands in New Zealand.

We specialise in delivering e-courses for the MROC qualification (formally the RRTOC).  The Ministry’s Maritime Restricted Operator's Certificate (MROC) covers mandatory requirements and is compulsory for vessels equipped with VHF marine radio & travelling overseas, commercial vessels and those carrying single sideband sets.

Requirements for radio operators on commercial vessels will vary depending on the radio equipment installed, number of passengers and requirements of current safety legislation.  Owners should approach their Safe Ship Management Company or the Maritime Safety Authority (Ph: 0508 22 55 22) for further advice.

For any vessel carrying single sideband (SSB) radiotelephone, the Radiocommunications Act 1989 requires an individual licence and callsign issued by Radio Spectrum Management.  The minimum qualification required to use this equipment is the Maritime Restricted Operator's Certificate.
