🔍 Key Concepts

• Compulsory GMDSS vessels and minimum operator/maintainer manning requirements under SOLAS and FCC rules • The difference between a GMDSS Radio Operator license and a GMDSS Radio Maintainer (or Maintainer/Operator) license • When radio log entries are required for distress, urgency, and safety communications

💭 Think About

• Look at which options describe minimum legal requirements versus what a company "may elect" to do. Which one changes the requirement in a way that doesn’t match SOLAS/FCC rules? • Think about who is allowed to perform maintenance and adjustments on GMDSS equipment at sea. Does supervision by a maintainer change what an operator is allowed to do? • Consider when you must keep a radio log of safety‑related traffic. Is it only when your vessel participates, or also when you receive/monitor? Does the wording in any choice narrow this too much?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check in current regulations whether the minimum number of licensed GMDSS Radio Operators is a fixed number and if it must be "at all times while at sea". • Verify whether maintenance/adjustment of GMDSS equipment can be done solely by an operator under supervision, or if a licensed maintainer (or equivalent shore-based arrangement) has particular duties. • Confirm exactly when safety-of-life communications must be logged and whether the rule depends on whether your vessel was directly involved in the communication.
