GMDSS safety inspection focuses on evaluating all mandatory communication and distress equipment onboard a vessel to meet SOLAS and IMO standards. This includes VHF, MF/HF, EPIRB, NAVTEX, SART, and satellite systems. Certified inspectors ensure these are functioning properly and report any deficiencies. The inspection is necessary for voyage readiness and certification renewals.
A ship radio survey checklist helps shipowners and surveyors ensure all essential communication equipment is inspected and compliant. The checklist includes items like VHF, MF/HF radios, Inmarsat terminals, EPIRBs, SARTs, NAVTEX, and power backups. It also includes license verification and operator training checks.
GMDSS certification is granted after a successful inspection and testing of all required radio and safety equipment onboard a vessel. It confirms that the ship complies with SOLAS and IMO communication requirements. The certification is mandatory for vessels traveling in international waters and must be renewed annually or as required.
