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.

Thirdly, I don't think anyone would lock you up for taking a handheld with you into a liferaft after abandoning ship. At this point of time the only people you will be in contact with, will be your rescuers. "Shjp's name + LIFERAFT" may be appropriate

Operation of any marine radio in a distress situation is allowed irrespective of licenses
