The new system is called the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System(GMDSS). | ||||||||||||||||||
This system was adopted by the IMO in 1988 and replaces the 500khz Morse code system. The GMDSS provides | ||||||||||||||||||
a reliable ship-to-shore communication path in addition to ship-to-ship alerting communications. The new system | ||||||||||||||||||
automated and uses ship-to-shore alerting by means of terrestial radio and satellite radio paths for alerting and | ||||||||||||||||||
subsequent communications. The GMDSS applies to all cargo ships of 300 gross tons and above, and to all | ||||||||||||||||||
passenger ships, regardless of size, on internatinal voyages. |
