GMDSS: A User`s Handbook

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) – the maritime equivalent to the emergency services number – provides a fast and efficient way of calling for assistance at sea, whatever the size of craft or its location. Denise Brรฉhaut explains the operation of the system as a whole and clearly outlines the procedures required to get help quickly, as well as covering the syllabi of the General Operator`s Certificate (GOC), the Long Range Certificate (LRC) and the Restricted Operator`s Certificate (ROC). Concise descriptions of channel usage, call signs, types of transmission and equipment allow novices as well as long-time users to thoroughly understand this life-saving communications system.The 6th edition of GMDSS incorporates all the changes to the regulations that came into force in 2009 as well as the 2016 system updates.GMDSS: A User`s Handbook has proved an invaluable reference for exam candidates and equipment users alike for almost 20 years – it is the GMDSS bible. The clear and lucid text is supported with illustrations, handy Q&A sections and a quick-reference revision guide for GOC and LRC students.Since it was first published, this book has helped explain the system for anyone using GMDSS and has been excellent pre-course reading for students.
