AN out of hours radio service which monitors marine radio frequencies will be re-established in the Falklands from the first week of June.

Harbour Master Malcolm Jamieson explained that Harbour Control using VHF radio is maintained by the Operations section of the Fisheries Department (FISHOPS) during office hours, seven days a week.
