Understanding ‘GMDSS basics’ is critical for ship crew and operators. It outlines how maritime communication is maintained using satellite and terrestrial systems. These include digital selective calling (DSC), NAVTEX, and satellite EPIRBs. This system ensures that ships can send alerts and receive vital safety broadcasts in real-time.
Q: How does GMDSS improve maritime safety?
A: Ships use VHF/MF/HF radios, Inmarsat, AIS, and NAVTEX devices under GMDSS to transmit and receive safety messages.
