  • Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Handbook 2018 I CONTENTS

    Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Handbook 2018 I CONTENTS

    FOREWORD This handbook has been produced by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), and is intended for use on ships that are: • compulsorily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea Convention 1974 (SOLAS) and Commonwealth or State government marine legislation • voluntarily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations. It is the recommended textbook for candidates wishing to qualify for the Australian GMDSS General Operator’s Certificate of Proficiency. This handbook replaces the tenth edition of the GMDSS Handbook published in September 2013, and has been amended to reflect: • changes to regulations adopted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Radiocommunications Conference (2015) • changes to Inmarsat services • an updated AMSA distress beacon registration form • changes to various ITU Recommendations • changes to the publications published by the ITU • developments in Man Overboard (MOB) devices • clarification of GMDSS radio log procedures • general editorial updating and improvements. Procedures outlined in the handbook are based on the ITU Radio Regulations, on radio procedures used by Australian Maritime Communications Stations and Satellite Earth Stations in the Inmarsat network. Careful observance of the procedures covered by this handbook is essential for the efficient exchange of communications in the marine radiocommunication service, particularly where safety of life at sea is concerned. Special attention should be given to those sections dealing with distress, urgency, and safety. Operators of radiocommunications equipment on vessels not equipped with GMDSS installations should refer to the Marine Radio Operators Handbook published by the Australian Maritime College, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. No provision of this handbook or the ITU Radio Regulations prevents the use, by a ship in distress, of any means at its disposal to attract attention, make known its position and obtain help.
