GMDSS Shore Based Maintenance
According to IMO (1999) the GMDSS represents a worldwide network of automated emergency communications for ships at sea. SOLAS convention Chapter IV states that all ocean-going passenger ships and cargo ships of 300 gross tonnage and upwards are required to carry radio equipment that conforms to international standards.
​
The main purpose of GMDSS is to prevent unanswered distress calls and delay in Search and Rescue actions when distress situations occur. GMDSS assures “... that any emergency at sea will result in a distress call and the response to that call will be immediate and effective” (IMO, Shipping Emergencies - Search and Rescue and the GMDSS, March 1999).
