GMDSS Programming – Safe and Reliable Communication by SEANAV
SEANAV provides expert GMDSS programming for vessels of all types. The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is a must for safe sea travel. It allows ships to send automatic alerts in case of danger. To work properly, this system needs accurate setup. That’s where SEANAV helps.
Our trained engineers program your GMDSS equipment to match your ship’s ID and details. As a result, you meet international rules like SOLAS and IMO standards. We also make sure every part of your system is tested and ready to use.
What is GMDSS Programming?
GMDSS programming is the process of setting up your ship’s safety radio system. It includes adding the MMSI number, call sign, ship name, and location. The devices involved are DSC VHF radios, MF/HF radios, Inmarsat-C terminals, NAVTEX receivers, and EPIRBs.
When programming is done right, your ship can send distress alerts quickly. It also receives warnings and updates from shore stations and other ships. But if it’s not done correctly, your safety could be at risk. Therefore, always choose a trusted service provider like SEANAV.
