GMDSS manual (Global maritime distress and safety system)

См. также GMDSS manual (Global maritime distress and safety system) 17 edition/Руководство по ГМССБ и GMDSS Manual. Global Maritime Distress and Safety System/Руководство ГМССБ. Глобальная морская система связи при бедствии и обеспечения безопасности

Edition 2013 на английском языке
Since its establishment in 1959, the International Maritime Organization and its Member Governments, in close cooperation with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and with other international organizations, notably the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO), and with the Cospas-Sarsat partners, have striven to improve maritime distress and safety radio communications.
The culmination of this work was the entry into force and implementation of the global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) in February 1999.
The intent of this Manual is to provide in a single comprehensive publication an explanation of the principles upon which the GMDSS is based, the radiocommunication requirements and recommendations for its implementation, the operational performance standards and technical specifications to be met by GMDSS equipment, and the procedures for and method of operation of the various radio services which form the GMDSS and the Master Plan for the GMDSS.
Note
Every effort has been made to ensure that the material in this publication is accurate and up to date, but a certain degree of obsolescence is inevitable. Most of the texts in this publication are up to date as of June 2013, but in case of doubt or uncertainty about the material, readers should contact their national maritime Administrations or the International Maritime Organization for guidance.
