Description: GMDSS-GOC - Support Course based on IMO Model Course 1.25 – General Operator’s Certificate for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (2015 Edition) Course + Compendium. As more detailed regulations became necessary for the shipping industry, the most recent of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS 1974) was adopted in 1974, 1978 and 1988 and amended from time to time. The SOLAS Convention has become one of the main instruments of the IMO. The GMDSS used by most of the world‘s shipping until 1992, is defined by chapter IV of the SOLAS Convention and the ITU Radio Regulations (RR). There was a transition period from the old to the new system in order to allow the industry time to overcome any unforeseen problems in implementation of the new system. The transitional period began on 1 February 1992 and continued to 1 February 1999.
SOLAS Chapter IV applies to all ships engaged on international voyages except:
  • Cargo ships less than 300 gross tonnage,
  • Ships of war and troopships,
  • Ships not propelled by mechanical means,
  • Wooden ships of primitive build,
  • Pleasure yachts not engaged in trade,
  • Fishing vessels, and
  • Ships being navigated within the Great Lakes of North America.
The current system is called the Global Maritime Distress and safety System (GMDSS).This system was adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1988 and replaces the 500 kHz Morse code system. The GMDSS provides a reliable ship-to-shore communications path in addition to ship-to-ship alerting communications. The new system is automated and uses ship-to-shore and ship to ship alerting by means of terrestrial radio and satellite radio paths for alerting and subsequent communications. The GMDSS will apply to all cargo ships of 300 gross tonnages a
