    I'm trying to get the radio license straightened out on the boat I'm currently running. It is registered in the BVI. It's been a few years since I ran a foreign flagged vessel but I seem to recall that the ships radio license should come from the same country as the vessel is registered in and not through the US FCC. Is that correct?

    And if so, does the MMSI number for the ships VHF radios come from there as well, or can I get that from the FCC?

    Thanks
