Re: MMSI registration nightmare....

Om the UK registry, the MMSI belongs to the boat, not the owner.

Presumably Yacht Sandpiper is on one of the UK registries - part 1 or SSR. You will get ownership transferred to you and you will keep the MMSI.

This is done because MMSIs may not be user reprogrammable in the hardware - this is certainly the case with AIS, can't remember about DSC VHF.

Presumably MMSI "B" is the correct one, and it's this you'll use for registration of the AIS. But transfer the registration of the yacht first, so you have the ship's registration papers saying this is the right MMSI. (Actually, I think the MMSI might be registered through Ofcom.)

The old biddies at the MCA in Cardiff are quite friendly and helpful - you can phone them up.

The VHF will need to be reprogrammed to the correct MMSI - contact the manufacturer if the manual doesn't tell you how. I think some agents charge £50 for this.

You don't get to pick your own MMSI, so bringing the VHFs' MMSI with you isn't an option.

IMO part 1 registry is preferable to SSR if it has lapsed, but it requires a "survey".

If you're in the UK you will probably find the YBW forums more helpful - no disrespect to this forum, just that most folks here are familiar with N American paperwork, and most folks there are British.
