.3 capable of floating free if the ship sinks and of being automatically activated when afloat; and
.4 capable of being activated manually; and
.6 a radio installation capable of transmitting and receiving general radiocommunications operating on working frequencies in the band between 156 MHz and 174 MHz. This requirement may be fulfilled by the addition of this capability in the equipment required by paragraph 1.1.
2 Every cargo ship of 300 gross tonnage and upwards but less than 500 gross tonnage shall be provided with at least:
.1 one radar SART or AIS-SART; and
