1. GENERALITATIGMDSS Global Maritime Distress and Safety System Sistemul Mondial de Primejdie i Siguranta Maritima Principii de baz la bordul oricrei nave: mesajele de urgen i siguran au prioritate asupra oricror altor mesaje; se vor evita interferenele cu ali utilizatori radio; se vor folosi frecvenele corecte, desemnate pentru scopul mesajelor; - Echipamentul GMDSS va fi operat de OOW posesor al unui G.O.C. - In conformitate cu SOLAS ch.IV trebuie completat: Radar log book, Chronometer log book - Inregistrarea evenimentelor se face cand nava este in mars, la ancora ori in port, de catre OOW. - Fiecare jurnal radio contine instructiuni pentru completare in conformitate cu Regulile Radio - SOLAS prevede echipamentele radio utilizate la bordul navelor, amplasarea corespunzatoare, iar alaturat se vor afisa instructiunile de folosire a echipamentului - Veghea radio se face in conformitate cu Regulile Radio si Conventiei SOLAS

Monthly Tests for SART Equipment2 Types of tests can be carried out: Self Test: -Turn the switch ( black ring) to TEST position and hold for a few seconds. -Check flash, led and loud signal operation. ( Note: self test stops after 10 sec.) -Release the switch, this turns the SART off. Test with 2 Rescuer SART: -Switch SART n1 in test position, wait 10 sec till stand by mode ( red led on, no flash, no loud signal) -Switch SART n2 in test position (SART n1 check working flash and loud signal) -Reverse operation to check SART n2 -When test is over release the switches on both SART off.

Monthly Test for EPIRBPerform regular monthly check - following producers instruction.

CANCELLING FALSE

ALERTS

VHF: 1. switch off transmitter immediately 2. switch equipment on and set to channel 16, and 3. make broadcast to ALL STATION giving the ships name, call sign and DSC number cancel the false distress alert Exemple: All stations All stations All stations This is m/t., call sign. DSC number, position. Cancel my distress alert of Date, Time UTC, master name, call sign, DSC number, Date, Time UTC. MF: 1. switch off equipment immediately 2. switch equipment on and tune for radiotelephony transmision on 2182 khz, and 3. make broadcast to All stations giving the ships name, call sign, DSC number and cancel the false distress alert. Exemple: All stations All stations All stations This is m/t., call sign. DSC number, position. Cancel my distress alert of Date, Time UTC, master name, call sign, DSC number, Date, Time UTC. HF: As for MF, but the alert must be cancelled on all the frequency bands on which it was transmitted. Hence, in stage 2.2 the transmitter should be tuned consecutively to the radiotelephony distress frequencies in the 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 Mhz bands, as necessary.

Inmarsat C Notify the appropiate RCC to cancel the alert by sending a distress priority message via the same CES through which the false distress alert was sent. Example: Name, call sign, identity number, position Cancel my Inmarsat-C distress Alert of date, time UTC Master EPIRBS If for any reson an EPIRB is activated accidentally, the ship should contact the nearest coast station or an appropiate coast earth station or RCC and cancel the distress alert.

Example: Msg send when lost MOB Ship, call sign, During maintenance our MOB lifebuoy with smoke signal slipped away accidentely into water in position: lat, long, pls kindly note that security broadcasting carried out for all ship in vecinity as well no need any rescue operation for above named matter.TKS
