At Ocean Sync Solutions L.L.C., we understand the critical importance of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) in ensuring the safety and security of vessels at sea. Our GMDSS Annual Inspections service is designed to ensure that all GMDSS equipment is fully operational, compliant with international standards, and ready to perform in any emergency situation.
The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is an internationally agreed-upon set of safety procedures, types of equipment, and communication protocols used to increase safety and facilitate the rescue of distressed ships, boats, and aircraft. GMDSS is mandatory for all ships under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
Our certified technicians conduct a thorough inspection of all GMDSS equipment on board, including:
VHF Radio Systems
MF/HF Radio Systems
Satellite Communication Systems (INMARSAT)
EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons)
SARTs (Search and Rescue Transponders)
NAVTEX Receivers
DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Equipment
Each piece of equipment is rigorously tested to ensure it is functioning correctly. This includes:
Operational Checks: Verifying that all devices power up and operate as intended.
Communication Tests: Ensuring clear and reliable communication capabilities.
Battery Testing: Checking the condition and performance of batteries to guarantee they can support equipment during an emergency.
Antenna and Cable Inspections: Examining all antennas and cables for wear and damage to maintain optimal performance.
We ensure that all GMDSS equipment meets the regulatory requirements set by SOLAS and other international maritime safety authorities. This includes:
Documentation Review: Checking that all necessary documentation, such as radio licenses and equipment certificates, is up-to-date.
Logbook Verification: Ensuring that all required entries in the GMDSS logbook are correctly recorded and maintained.
Upon completion of the inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining the condition and performance of each piece of GMDSS equipment. If any issues are identified, we offer recommendations for repairs or replacements. We also issue a certificate of compliance, confirming that your vessel meets all GMDSS requirements.
Our team of certified technicians has extensive experience in maritime communication systems, ensuring thorough and accurate inspections.
We use state-of-the-art testing equipment and follow strict protocols to guarantee the reliability of your GMDSS equipment.
We stay up-to-date with the latest international regulations to ensure your vessel remains compliant with all safety standards.
