The Global Maritime distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is becoming
the all-embracing term for communication and data transfer between
ship and shore, and ship and ship. It's a highly automated system
of terrestrial satellite communications technology whose primary
role is to maintain safety of life at sea. Within the next five
years all vessels over 300 tonnes will be required to carry GMDSS
equipment. The seafaring nations of the world have together
established the rules and regulations for good working practices
within the system, and every serving and future navigating officer
will be required to hold the GMDSS General Operator's Certificate.
GMDSS for Navigators brings together in one publication the
knowledge required by anyone who wants to become a qualified and
competent operator of GMDSS communications equipment. It should
prove to be the accepted universal reference for GMDSS training.
SELLING POINTS
* All vessels will soon need to carry true equipment
