GMDSS - GOC Course (based on IMO Model Course 1.25)/GMDSS - курс GOC (на основе модельного курса IMO 1.25)

Издание на английском языке
The book covers the history and development of radio systems used to ensure the safety of ships at sea, starting with the first attempts to use radio to save lives in 1899. She highlights the importance of international agreements that were necessary to create an effective radio communication system, including equipment standards and operational procedures. In particular, the modern Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1988, is being considered, which replaced the outdated system using Morse code at 500 kHz. GMDSS provides reliable communication between ships and shore, as well as between ships using both terrestrial and satellite radio channels, and applies to all cargo and passenger ships making international voyages.
