The GMDSS system is designed to send distress signals and communicate emergency alerts to rescue teams when a vessel is in distress. Regular testing ensures that distress signals are sent accurately and efficiently. Testing services include checking the signal strength, verifying the functionality of the distress buttons, and ensuring the system’s components, including the satellite and radio communication links, are operational. Regular distress signal testing ensures that the vessel complies with SOLAS regulations and is fully equipped to handle emergency situations, improving safety at sea.
