🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) equipment priorities during total loss of ship’s power • The correct distress calling channels/frequencies for VHF digital selective calling (DSC) versus voice (radiotelephone) distress calls • The designed purpose and capabilities of an EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) and an SCT (Survival Craft Transceiver)

💭 Think About

• When ship’s main power and the GMDSS console are disabled, which pieces of equipment are independent of ship’s power and still available? • On VHF, which channel is reserved for DSC digital distress alerts, and which channel is used for voice Mayday calls? • What is the primary role of the EPIRB—continuous automated alerting, two-way communication, or both?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which VHF channel (Ch-16 or Ch-70) is used for voice Mayday radiotelephone calls under GMDSS. • Confirm that the EPIRB does not require ship’s main power and is specifically intended for serious distress situations like casualties disabling the vessel. • Check what the Survival Craft Transceiver (SCT) is actually capable of: does it operate on Ch-16, Ch-06, Ch-70, or some combination, and is it for digital or voice communications?
