§ 80.503 Cooperative use of facilities.
(a) A person engaged in the operation of one or more commercial
transport vessels or government vessels may receive maritime mobile
service from a private coast station or a marine utility station on shore
even though not the licensee of the private coast station or the marine
utility station. Restrictions on cooperative arrangements are as
follows:
(1) Foreign persons must be the licensees of the radio stations
installed on board their vessels.
(2) The licensee of a private coast station or marine utility station
on shore may install ship radio stations on board United States commercial
transport vessels of other persons. In each case these persons must enter
into a written agreement verifying that the ship station licensee has the
sole right of control of the ship stations, that the vessel operators must
use the ship stations subject to the orders and instructions of the coast
station or marine utility station on shore, and that the ship station
licensee will have sufficient control of the ship station to enable it to
carry out its responsibilities under the ship station license.
(b) Cooperative arrangements are limited concerning cost and charges as
follows:
(1) The arrangement must be established on a non-profit, cost-sharing
basis by written contract. A copy of the contract must be kept with the
station records and made available for inspection by Commission
representatives.
(2) Contributions to capital and operating expenses are to be prorated
on an equitable basis among all persons who are parties to the cooperative
arrangement. Records which reflect the cost of the service and its
nonprofit, cost-sharing nature must be maintained by the licensee of the
station and made available for inspection by Commission
representatives.
