What effect will the introduction of additional U.N. Recognised satellite Global Maritime Distress and Safety Systems (GMDSS) providers have on the safety of seafarers and vessels globally.
1. Please select which of the below best describes your participation within the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
2. The current process for recognising a satellite provider within the GMDSS is contained within International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Resolution A.1001(25). This outlines the technical and oversight criteria that must be met. Do you consider these requirements to be suitable to assess and introduce new satellite providers?
Yes
No
3. Considering the recognition process of Satellite providers within the GMDSS.
Is it important that there should be an IMO requirement for new satellite providers to be assessed on interoperability with current recognised satellite providers systems?
Not important | Slightly important | Important | Fairly important | Very important | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4. There are now three IMO Recognised satellite service providers, including one regional. How many satellite service providers do you think should be IMO recognised within the GMDSS?
5. Each Satellite provider must have a minimum of two associated Rescue Coordination Centres, should all satellite providers have the same associated RCC’s?
Yes
No
6. Currently, each satellite provider must deliver a Distress Alert to a Rescue Coordination Centre. The Rescue Coordination Centre will then coordinate with other centres within the distress location.
Do you think that the IMO should review Search and Rescue Co-ordination procedures to accommodate this new multiple satellite provider environment in which Distress Alerts could be sent to multiple Rescue Coordination Centres?
Strongly agree
Agree
Neither agree nor disagree
Disagree
Strongly disagree
7. The broadcast and reception of Maritime Safety Information is used to inform vessels of navigational warnings, meteorological forecasts, and warnings as well as Search and Rescue related messages. Do you think NAVAREA, METAREA and Search and Rescue broadcasters should broadcast their safety messages through ALL satellite providers?
Yes
No
8. Considering the broadcasting of Maritime Safety Information. There is no IMO requirement for a new satellite provider to broadcast to every NAVAREA and METAREA within their recognised satellite area. Do you think satellite providers must provide evidence of their agreements with all NAVAREA and METAREA providers within their coverage area) before becoming operational within the GMDSS?
Yes
No
9. In your opinion, has the introduction of additional satellite providers into the GMDSS made the maritime industry safer for seafarers?
Strongly agree
Agree
Neither agree nor disagree
Disagree
Strongly disagree
