In order to ensure the safety and security of maritime navigation, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has established a series of regulations and guidelines for the installation and maintenance of marine communication and navigation equipment on vessels. These guidelines, developed in accordance 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 require 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.
