The importance of the GMDSS system on the vessels

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System, also known as the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS), is very important for the maritime industry, since it improves safety, navigation and, in the event of incidents, facilitates the rescue of vessels and people in danger.

The GMDSS is made up of procedures, onboard equipment and communications protocols; These must be complied with mandatory by SOLAS vessels.

The GMDSS AIS Survey is the professional authorized to certify the proper functioning of the equipment installed on board.

In an emergency situation, certain guidelines for action must be followed. Emergency situations can be your own or those of third parties.

International Marconsult, established in Panama, is the company that can offer you the inspection and certification service, from its main operational offices to any port in the world.
