A ship station (or ship radio station) is a radio station located onboard a sea vessel. The ITU Radio Regulations define it as "A mobile station in the maritime mobile service located on board a vessel which is not permanently moored, other than a survival craft station."[1]

Each station is classified by the service in which it operates, permanently or temporarily.
