Do you know the importance of maintaining the marine antenna system?

Many people do not give due importance to preventive maintenance of antenna systems on boats.

In general culture, this maintenance is remembered when failures occur, when there is a problem in the transmission or reception of voice or data messages.

The antennas must have minimum maintenance, every one year; (we recommend every 6 months).

During GMDSS inspections this is an important element to be taken into account by the GMDSS AIS Radio Survey. A poor condition of the antennas, their wiring and connections; Not only can they cause communications malfunction, but they can also cause risks to human life.

The useful life of communication equipment and antennas will be benefited by proper maintenance. The GMDSS inspector must test the operation of the equipment, which will depend on the good condition of the antennas.

Both individual antennas and community antennas require minimal maintenance, something that if done will certainly extend the useful life of these technical elements that will allow you to continue enjoying a better quality of service for more years.

The GMDSS technical team of International Marconsult will carry out a state inspection of the equipment prior to the audit by the GMDSS Radio Survey, and will also carry out an internal audit of your equipment, to guarantee its good condition.
