This would ONLY apply in countries which require an equipment list as part of the station license. For instance, my ships license does not require any detail of what equipment is actually on board other than that all the transceivers must have type approval.

So if my mate turns up on board my vessel with his handheld VHF, he can legally transmit (while on board my vessel) using my callsign providing he has the appropriate radio operators certificate and his handheld has suitable type approval.
