  1. Equipment to be carried

  2. The SOLAS GMDSS regulations are structured such that all GMDSS ships are required to carry a minimum set of equipment, with (basically) more equipment being required the further the ship travels from land. • The SOLAS GMDSS regulations do not make particularly easy reading - a simplified version of the equipment required to be carried for each sea area is detailed below.

  3. Minimum requirements • A VHF radio installation capable of transmitting DSC on channel 70, and radiotelephony on channels 16, 13 and 6. • One SART if under 500 GRT, 2 SARTs if over 500 GRT. • Two portable VHF transceivers for use in survival craft if under 500 GRT, three if over 500 GRT. • A NAVTEX receiver, if the ship is engaged on voyages in any area where a NAVTEX service is provided. • An Inmarsat EGC receiver, if the ship is engaged on voyages in any area of Inmarsat coverage where MSI services are not provided by NAVTEX or HF NBDP. • COSPAS-SARSAT EPIRB (float-free satellite EPIRB)

  4. Sea Area A1 • Every ship engaged on voyages exclusively in sea area A1 shall be provided with the minimum equipment specified previously.

  5. VHF RT/DSC NAVTEX SART Portable VHF EPIRB Sea Area A1 equipments

  6. Sea Area A1 and A2 • Every ship engaged on voyages beyond sea area A1, but remaining within sea area A2, shall be provided with the minimum equipment specified previously, plus: • An MF radio installation capable of transmitting and receiving on the frequencies 2187.5 kHz using DSC and 2182 kHz using radiotelephony; • a DSC watchkeeping receiver operating on 2187.5 kHz

  7. VHF RT/DSC NAVTEX SART Portable VHF EPIRB MF MF RT/DSC Sea Area A1 and A2 equipments

  8. Sea Area A1, A2 and A3 (Inmarsat solution) Every ship engaged on voyages beyond sea areas A1 and A2, but remaining within sea area A3 shall be provided with the minimum equipment specified previously, plus either: • An Inmarsat B/C or Fleet 77 • An MF radio installation and 2187.5 kHz DSC watchkeeping receiver;

  11. Sea Area A1, A2 and A3 (HF solution) and All Sea Areas • An MF/HF radio installation capable of transmitting and receiving on all distress and safety frequencies in the (marine) bands between 1,605 kHz and 27,500 kHz: using DSC, radiotelephony, and Radiotelex. • An MF/HF DSC watchkeeping receiver capable of maintaining DSC watch on 2,187.5 kHz, 8,414.5 kHz and on at least one of the distress and safety DSC frequencies 4,207.5 kHz, 6,312 kHz, 12,577 kHz or 16,804.5 kHz; at any time, it shall be possible to select any of these DSC distress and safety frequencies • An Inmarsat C

  12. In addition, ships shall be capable of transmitting and receiving general radiocommunications using radiotelephony or direct-printing telegraphy by an MF/HF radio installation operating on working frequencies in the (marine) bands between 1,605 kHz and 27,500 kHz. This requirement is normally fulfilled by the addition of this capability in the MF/HF equipment referred to earlier.

  14. Maintenance requirements Regulation 15 of the SOLAS GMDSS regulations defines 3 methods to ensure availability of GMDSS equipment at sea: • Shore-based maintenance • On-board maintenance • Duplication of equipment 1 method - A1 and A2 at least 2 methods – A3 and A4

  15. Shore-based Maintenance The ship/shipping company should have a written agreement with a service company or be able to present a written plan/declaration showing how shore-based maintenance should be carried out.

  16. On-board Maintenance Qualified and authorized equipment servicing personnel must be present on board. Spare parts and necessary instruments must be available on board for servicing mandatory equipment.

  17. Duplication of Equipment Duplication can be used as a method of ensuring the availability of equipment. A combination of shore-based maintenance and duplication of equipment is likely to be the most common method for most of the ships trading under GMDSS regulations.

  21. The GMDSS Master Plan The authorities of the different flag states are responsible for ensuring that their ships are equipped in accordance with the GMDSS and that coastal radio station/coast earth stations are sufficiently updated to handle traffic under the new system.
