GMDSS Simulator

GMDSS SIMULATOR

• Incorporates one instructor station and scalable student stations such as 8, 12, 16

• Provides real-time working environment with Computer-Based Integrated System

• Contains a simulation of communication devices

• Meets all applicable performance standards accepted by IMO

• Has sufficiency for GMDSS General Operators Certificate (GOC) certification and SAR operations 

It is compliance with the requirements of STCW 2010 and satisfy both IMO Model Courses and IMCA Guidance on the use of simulators.

The simulator provides a realistic working environment for the trainee. In this context, the simulations of the following GMDSS equipment are included in the simulator:
