From Baird Maritime:
The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) has now pretty much come of age. It is the universally mandated and acceptable means of calling for assistance from anywhere at sea.
All passenger vessels of any size on international voyages and all vessels over 300GRT must be fitted with GMDSS capable equipment. Smaller vessels, of course, may be voluntarily fitted.
Depending on operational areas, vessels are required to carry VHF, MF or HF radios or INMARSAT telephone. All must carry EPIRBs.
This simply and clearly presented book explains all such technical detail and gives details of the operator examinations and the material required to pass them. It also carefully presents and explains all the currently available equipment required for GMDSS transmissions.
The author knows her subject and explains it with the utmost clarity.
