Circular Letter
MSC/Circ.1077

PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATION AND POSSIBLE RECOGNITION OF MOBILE-SATELLITE SYSTEMS NOTIFIED FOR USE IN THE GMDSS

(adopted on 5 June 2003)

 

1. The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-second session (MSC 72) in May 2000, requested the Sub-Committee on Radiocommunications and Search and Rescue (COMSAR) to develop a procedure for recognition of mobile-satellite systems for use in the GMDSS.

 

2. The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-seventh session (28 May to 6 June 2003), with a view to ensuring that a proper procedure is put in place for evaluation and possible recognition of mobile-satellite systems notified for use in the GMDSS, approved the Procedure prepared by the Sub-Committee on Radiocommunications and Search and Rescue (COMSAR) at its seventh session, as set out in the Annex. The attached Annex also facilitates the evaluation and possible recognition of such mobile-satellite systems by the Sub-Committee on Radiocommunications and Search and Rescue and final adoption by the Maritime Safety Committee.

 

3. Member Governments are invited to use the annexed Procedure when submitting mobile-satellite communication systems to be recognized by the Organization for use in the GMDSS and to bring the annexed Procedure to the attention of all parties concerned.

 

ANNEX.
