GMDSS and Maritime Communication
The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is the international system for distress and safety communication at sea. The system enables vessels in distress to transmit distress messages quickly and efficiently via satellite, radio, and other communication systems.
GMDSS publications provide guidance on how the systems are used in practice on board vessels.

Manuals and guides in this category are used by navigators, radio operators, and other crew members responsible for communication. They provide practical information on procedures for distress messages, safety messages, and routine radio communication.
The publications serve as reference works for both training and operational use.
