Nautical Publications
Since the first edition of this book was published in 1993, GMDSS continued to evolve and over the years some major changes and some fine tuning of the system have become apparent. The results of this evolutionary change is reflected in the contents of this edition. The text has been amended and updated where subtle shifts of emphasis in the interpretation of the regulations, equipment specification or advice to operators have changed since the last edition.
Readers should note that regulations have not been included in full in this book but a number of sections are based on the provisions of the following:
(a) ITU Radio Regulations;
(b) International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea SOLAS (1974) and amendments (1988);
(c) ITU Manual for use by the Maritime Mobile and Maritime Mobile-Satellite Services 1996;
(d) Merchant Shipping (Radio Installations) Regulations 1998;
(e) The Merchant Shipping (Radio) (Fishing Vessels) Rules 1974;
(f) The Merchant Shipping (Radio) (Fishing Vessels) (Amendment) Rules 1982;
(g) Various Merchant Shipping Notices and publications issued by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency;
(h) Various publications issued by the Radiocommunications Agency;
(i) INMARSAT Maritime Communication Handbook (issue 2);
and other relevant statutory regulations and provisions. Thus readers should consult with appropriate international and national regulations for definitive interpretation of the rules and regulations.
