119. What is the requirement for emergency and reserve power in GMDSS radio installations?

An emergency power source for radio communications is not required if a vessel has proper reserve power (batteries).
A reserve power source is not required for radio communications.
Only one of the above is required if a vessel is equipped with a second 406 EPIRB as a backup means of sending a distress alert.
All newly constructed ships under GMDSS must have both emergency and reserve power sources for radio communications.
