GMDSS

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is an international communication setup used by ships to ensure safety at sea. It enables vessels to send distress signals quickly through satellite and radio frequencies, alert nearby ships and rescue authorities in emergencies like accidents or emergencies. GMDSS combines various communication tools—such as automatic distress signals, radio telephones, and satellite systems—to improve safety, coordination, and response times. Implemented worldwide, it helps save lives by ensuring ships can easily reach help when needed, even in remote or harsh ocean environments.
