Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS)
The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is a worldwide emergency and safety system for shipping at sea. According to the GMDSS, a ship that complies with these requirements must be able to contact a shore station, receive weather reports and maintain ship-to-ship communications, at any time and from any location. GMDSS is currently mandatory for commercial shipping, but for safety reasons, it is also strongly recommended for pleasure craft.
GMDSS requirements depend on the sailing area of your ship. If you sail up to 20 to 30 miles from the coast, we call this the A1 area, and a standard VHF is sufficient (JHS-800S). This allows you to reach the Coast Guard, make and maintain contact with other ships, and receive the weather forecast. Outside the A1 area, up to +/- 200 to 300 miles from the coast, is the A2 area. The A3 area is the zone outside A1 and A2, but within range of an Inmarsat satellite. This can actually be received anywhere in the world, except for the areas near the northern and southern poles. A4 are the remaining areas around the pool area. Now that it is clear what the different sailing areas are, we have made a diagram below with the required equipment per sailing area. Of course, you can always contact us for personalized advice, we are happy to help you.

SOLAS
The Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS) convention falls under the International Maritime Organization (IMO). SOLAS is considered the most important international treaty concerning the safety of seafaring vessels. The main objective of the SOLAS convention is to specify minimum standards for the construction, equipment, and operation of ships to ensure safety on board. Alphatron Marine possesses extensive knowledge when it comes to international regulations related to your navigation equipment. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the nearest Alphatron Marine office or use our SOLAS configurator to find out which navigation equipment is minimally required on board.
