🔍 Key Concepts

• SafetyNET™ / Enhanced Group Call (EGC) function within the GMDSS system • Difference between Distress, Urgency, and Routine/Safety categories • What the operator must do when a distress/urgency EGC is received vs. what the equipment does automatically

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when a Distress or Urgency priority message comes in, can the operator simply ignore it and let the machine handle everything, or is human acknowledgment/interaction expected? • Consider how the equipment alerts the bridge team: does it keep sounding until the operator does something, or does it just beep once and stop? • Think about why GMDSS is designed the way it is: what behavior does it want from the operator when someone is in distress or in an urgent situation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which options say "no immediate action is required" and ask if that matches the intent of GMDSS for distress/urgency traffic. • Verify in your GMDSS manual how the EGC distress/urgency alarm behaves: continuous/periodic tone vs. single tone, and what stops it. • Confirm whether SafetyNET/EGC auto-acknowledges distress/urgency messages on behalf of the ship, or if acknowledgment is a separate function.
