Australian Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Handbook/Австралийское руководство по глобальной морской системе связи при бедствии (ГМССБ)

Книга на английском языке.
This handbook has been produced by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), and is intended for use on ships that are:
- compulsorily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations in accordance with the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea Convention 1974 (SOLAS) and Commonwealth or State government marine legislation
- voluntarily equipped with GMDSS radiocommunication installations.
It is the recommended textbook for candidates wishing to qualify for the Australian GMDSS General Operator’s Certifcate of Profciency.
