A reserve power supply check ensures backup batteries and emergency power systems for radio equipment are operational. This includes load tests, voltage verification, and battery health status. Reliable backup power is vital during blackouts or main power failures.
DSC radio system testing evaluates the performance of Digital Selective Calling equipment. It ensures distress signals can be sent automatically with accurate location data. The test includes verifying programming, transmission, and integration with GPS.
AIS (Automatic Identification System) inspection checks the transmitter and receiver for signal accuracy and functionality. It confirms that the vessel is visible to nearby ships and shore stations. This is essential for maritime traffic management and safety compliance.
This survey verifies the performance and registration of satellite communication equipment on vessels. It ensures uninterrupted communication, particularly for SOLAS ships operating in open seas. Tests include signal strength, coverage area, and distress function reliability.
A bridge radio survey focuses on all communication and navigation equipment located on the ship’s bridge. Surveyors inspect VHF, MF/HF, DSC, and satellite systems to ensure full operational status. This survey supports safe navigation and is essential for certification.
GMDSS radio maintenance involves routine servicing and repairs of all ship communication systems. This includes checking for corrosion, verifying connections, updating firmware, and replacing faulty parts. Scheduled maintenance improves reliability and prolongs equipment life.
This inspection ensures all emergency radio equipment, such as EPIRBs, SARTs, and reserve VHF units, are functional and ready for use. It includes checking battery life, proper storage, and signal output. Regular inspections prevent failures during distress situations.
A GMDSS radio check verifies the functionality of all radio equipment required under the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. This includes short- and long-range radios, emergency beacons, and satellite terminals. This routine check helps maintain safety and ensures compliance.
Marine distress radio testing is conducted to verify the operation of emergency radio systems such as EPIRBs, SARTs, and DSC radios. This ensures they activate automatically and transmit the correct signals during emergencies. Regular testing is essential to comply with GMDSS and SOLAS regulations.
