Whenever there is a change of officers, the relieving officer must demonstrate knowledge of the GMDSS equipment to the master. The master is responsible for evaluating the new officer's familiarization with the ship's specific GMDSS equipment using this checklist, and addressing any gaps in knowledge. Continued familiarization of GMDSS operators is also verified during bridge discipline meetings.
