experience in Maritime Radiocommunications, including the GMDSS, all instructors should
have good general knowledge of ships and maritime safety including search and rescue
matters.
TEACHING FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENTS:
Ordinary class room facilities, including blackboard, white board, flip charts and
overhead projector. Audio Visual materials to use video tape recording etc., adequate
equipments for using the same must be made available. Both Inmarsat terminal and
simulator will be required for training.
Two working areas to simulate ship and shore stations separately should be fitted with
the following equipments:
1.
Two fully operational MF/HF Transmitter/Receiver sets for Radio Telephony, NBDP
and DSC (two sets of equipment provides the advantage of being able to
communicate locally by using dummy antenna or hard-wired back-to-back DSC
controllers).
2.
One dedicated MF/HF watch receiver for the DSC distress frequencies.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Two fully operational VHF transmitter/receiver for Radio telephony and DSC,
incorporating a DSC watch Receiver for Channel 70.
8.

10.
One personal computer for every two students capable of running relevant
programmes for simulating the operation of Inmarsat A/B, Inmarsat C, DSC and
NBDP as appropriate.
11.
One battery invertor power supply of adequate capacity to provide power for eight
hours of continuous operation of all equipment (not necessarily located in the
working area)
12.
Signs and markings in accordance with the requirement of the Administration for
GMDSS Ship stations.
Note: Two sets of equipment are desirable, but to start with one set would suffice as
long as ship site and shore site functions are clearly demonstrated during the training.
