    Global Maritime Distress and Safety system (GMDSS)

    Under the GMDSS, all passenger ships and all cargo ships over 300 gross tonnage on international
    voyages have to carry specified terrestrial and satellite radiocommunications equipment for sending and
    receiving distress alerts and maritime safety information, as well as for general communications.
    Thregulations governing the GMDSS are contained in Chapter IV of the International Convention for the
    Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974.
    The IMO Publication 'GMDSS Manual, 2009 edition' provides further detailed information

    When a ship uses GMDSS, it

    basically sends a distress signal via a

    satellite or radio

    communicationequipment. It’s also

    used as a medium for sending or

    receiving maritime safety information

    and general communication channel.

    VHF radio

    Marine VHF Radios are two-way communicators which are used to transfer and receive
    messages. However, the most important function of a Marine VHF Radio is that it is
    very helpful when it comes to sending distress signals across the channels to coast
    guards and other ships and boats in the periphery. Also, certain Marine VHF Radios can
    be used for the purposes of making calls through a marine operator for a certain sum
    making it double up as a telephonic communicator too
    Portable Marine Radio
    The portable marine radio or the survival craft transceiver, a very important element of
    the GMDSS, is a piece of equipment located in the bridge in case the ship’s personnel
    have to board the survival craft but they may be used for communication on board as
    well.
    SASS

    The Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) is a safety measure for strengthening ship’s security
    and subduing acts of piracy and/or terrorism against shipping. Widely Acknowledged as a part
    of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS code), the Ship Security Alert
    System (SSAS) complements the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s attempts to
    increase maritime vessel security.
    In December 2002, International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted some changes within
    which Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) was determined in SOLAS Chapter XI-2, Regulation
    6. It also required IMO to produce guidance on the implementation and instructions on the
    handling of alert alerts from SSAS instrumentation.
