🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS DSC distress alert design goals (automatic identification and position reporting) • What information is stored in the DSC controller by default (e.g., MMSI and last known position/time) • How the system behaves if the operator does not update position or nature of distress before sending

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the GMDSS system designed to ever send a distress alert with no usable information, or is it designed to ensure rescuers get at least something? • Consider what data the DSC unit already has available automatically (from GPS and vessel registration) even if the operator does nothing. • Think about which option best matches the idea that distress alerts must be quick and foolproof even if the operator is stressed or forgetful.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether a DSC distress alert always contains at least the vessel’s MMSI (identity). • Verify what happens to position and time in a DSC alert if they are not manually updated by the operator (e.g., use of last valid data). • Check which options are inconsistent with the basic safety principle that a distress system should not fail silently or send an alert with zero usable information.
