The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is a vital communication system that ensures vessels can communicate distress signals and receive vital information. Regular testing and maintenance ensure the system is functional in emergency situations. This includes checking all components, including satellite phones, EPIRBs, and VHF radios. Routine service helps ensure the system meets SOLAS regulations, ensuring vessels are equipped with the latest technology and safety features. A properly maintained GMDSS system provides reliable communication in emergencies, increasing safety at sea and compliance with global maritime standards.
