GMDSS Radio Log Book

Description

GMDSS Radio Log Book

In order to assist Masters and Officers in maintaining the necessary records, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) have updated the ‘Radio Log Book’ (GMDSS) and ‘Simplified Fishing Vessel GMDSS Radio Log Book’, and incorporated them into this single volume.

For ease of use a ‘delete as appropriate’ and ‘complete as required’ system has been adopted, which allows this Log Book to be used as either publication, dependent on the user’s specific requirements.

This Log Book is intended to encourage greater awareness of safety equipment through inspection and the recording of such inspections. Safety equipment has reduced in cost and improved in availability over the last 10 years. As vessels fit more equipment, and to ensure the equipment functions correctly when needed, an inspection regime is required. This would improve familiarity with the equipment, thus improving safety.
