our associated partnered team available to carry our GMDSS Radio Survey onboard Indian Flag Vessel
BV GMDSS Radio Survey
SEANAV MARINE partnered engineering team is a leading maritime radio survey provider, boasting a team of highly qualified engineers and experienced radio technicians.
Our partnered team has undergone extensive training on the General Operator Certificate Course (GOC) for Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), which enables them to effectively perform radio surveys and assessments for vessels of all sizes and types. Our expertise extends to a range of radio makes and models, ensuring that we can provide comprehensive surveys that are tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented regulations and guidelines to ensure safe navigation at sea. These guidelines outline the installation and maintenance requirements for marine communication and navigation equipment on vessels. The guidelines, developed in compliance with SOLAS chapter IV and various IMO resolutions, provide a framework for marine electronics companies to design, install, and maintain radio equipment that meets the necessary standards.
One of the key requirements outlined in these guidelines is the installation of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) on board vessels. The GMDSS is an international system that uses satellite and terrestrial radio communications to provide distress alerts and other safety information to vessels at sea. In addition, the guidelines mandate periodic radio surveys to be conducted on board vessels to ensure that the equipment remains in good working order and complies with the necessary regulations.
