WHAT DOES GMDSS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Global Maritime Distress and Safety System

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System is an internationally agreed-upon set of safety procedures, types of equipment, and communication protocols used to increase safety and make it easier to rescue distressed ships, boats and aircraft. GMDSS consists of several systems, some of which are new, but many of which have been in operation for many years. The system is intended to perform the following functions: alerting, search and rescue coordination, locating, maritime safety information broadcasts, general communications, and bridge-to-bridge communications. Specific radio carriage requirements depend upon the ship's area of operation, rather than its tonnage. The system also provides redundant means of distress alerting, and emergency sources of power. Recreational vessels do not need to comply with GMDSS radio carriage requirements, but will increasingly use the Digital Selective Calling VHF radios. Offshore vessels may elect to equip themselves further. Vessels under 300 Gross tonnage are not subject to GMDSS requirements.

Definition of GMDSS in the English dictionary
