The development of GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress And Safety System) for the shipping industry has come a long way.
The GMDSS system was established with an objective to improve distress and safety radio communications and procedures at sea.
The greatest benefit of the GMDSS equipment is that it vastly reduces the chances of ships disappearing without a trace, and enables search and rescue (SAR) operations to be launched without delay and directed to the exact site of a maritime disaster.
Gone are the days when ships were required to have dedicated radio officers to operate radio equipment. With the implementation of GMDSS, every deck officer with a General Operator Certificate (GOC) and the license is entitled to use the GMDSS equipment and make radio communications when needed.
For the GMDSS equipment to function properly and effectively in the event of an emergency, it is critical that mariners understand its purpose and do the required maintenance on board the vessel to keep it in a working condition and make the best use of GMDSS equipment.
The daily, weekly and monthly tests of all the GMDSS equipment should be done by every navigating officer responsible for it without any compromise. We must not forget that it is our only best friend in a distress situation at sea.
