GMDSS Master Plan

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Master Plan is a comprehensive framework for maritime safety communication. It outlines systems and protocols for ships to follow in emergencies, ensuring effective distress signals can be sent and received. The plan integrates satellite and terrestrial communication technologies, enabling swift response to accidents at sea. It also ensures that vessels are equipped with the necessary devices for safety, like radios and distress beacons. Overall, the GMDSS Master Plan enhances safety for sailors, passengers, and cargo, promoting a coordinated international response to maritime emergencies.
