The Old System
The old system for distress and safety asspecified by the 1974 SOLAS conventionrelies on:
1 ) Manual operation of :
a) Morse telegraph on 500 kHz ( MF range) .b) Radiotelephone on 2182 kHz ( MF range ) .
c) Radiotelephone on 156.8 MHz ( CH.16 on
VHF range ).
2) Audible reception of distress signals on the above
frequencies .

The Old System
7/27/2019 gmdss.pdf
6/82
Drawbacks of the Old System
* Distress signals are audible and need awell qualified operator.
*
Rescue operations are possible within arange of 200 n.m. only.
* Ship in distress does not receive any
acknowledgment in reply to its distress
signals.

Introduction of The GMDSS
* Introduced by the IMO in 1979.
* Started operation in Feb. 1992.
* Has become mandatory since Feb. 1999.

Objective
The objective of the Global
Maritime Distress and Safety
System (GMDSS) is to provide an
effective search and rescue systemon a global basis using advanced
technology of satellite andterrestrial communications.

Sailing Areas
* Sea Areas A1:
Within range of VHF coast station withcontinuous DSC alerting available (about 20-30
nautical miles).
* Sea Areas A2:
Beyond area A1, about within range of MF
coastal stations with continuous DSC alerting
available (about 100 nautical miles).
Sailing Areas (contd)
7/27/2019 gmdss.pdf
17/82
Sailing Areas (cont d)* Sea Areas A3:
Beyond the first two areas, but withincoverage of geostationary maritimecommunication satellites (in practice this meanINMARSAT). This covers the area betweenroughly 70oN and 70oS.
* Sea Areas A4:the remaining sea areas. The most important
of these is the sea around the North pole (the
area around the South pole is mostly land).Geostationary satellites, which are positionedabove the equator, cannot reach this far.

Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacons (EPIRB)
These devices transmit a continuous
signal on which rescue units can home.
The signal can be activated manually but
the EPIRB must also be able to float freeand being signaling automatically in the
event of a sudden accident (such as theship capsizing before any other form of
signal can be given).

Rescue operation ofAchilli Lauro

On the 1st of December 1994, there was a fireon board the Italian passenger ship Achilli Lauro.The ship was sailing in the the Arabian Sea
(nearby to Somalia).The ship had not been equipped with the GMDSSfacilities (it was not mandatory at that time),
hence it transmitted a distress signal using Morsecode on 500 KHz.
A vessel with a call sign HSDL has received the
distress message and relayed it, where it hadbeen received by another vessel called CoridalExpress .

7/27/2019 gmdss.pdf

The ship had re-transmitted the signal throughan Inmarsat- A equipment where the MRCC in
7/27/2019 gmdss.pdf
74/82
Stavanger (Norway) had received it. The center has relayed the signal to the MRCCin Falmouth(U.K.).
The duty officer at the Falmouth MRCC hadcommunicated with all the vessels sailing in thearea, and informed them about the distress signal
he received .Tanker Lima was one of them. Since tanker Lima had been well equippedwith communication facilities, It had been
selected by the duty officer to take the commandof the rescue operations. It had been instructed tocommunicate with all other vessels for this
purpose.

Lima had chosen a tanker called Hawaiian King thatwas very close to Achilli Lauro, to communicate viaVHF equipment to investigate the situation.
The crew of Achilli Lauro had told Lima that allpassenger and crew had been safely evacuated, andmoved to the life rafts.
Hawain King had selected other two nearby vessles topick up the rescued passengers and crew (around 900).
All rescued persons were on board the three vesselswithin 9 hours of the transmission of the initial distresssignal.

Conclusion
7/27/2019 gmdss.pdf
81/82
GMDSS is mainly an integrated
telecommunication system that is intended toimprove the search and rescue operations
for ships in distress.
Since its introduction in 1992, it helpedmuch in achieving safety of life at sea.
