Mientras que los de las botas de caña se dedican a fotografiar a los que corren y los jueces a ejemplarizar con los que atropellan y se dan a la fuga. El Paris MOU va a concentrar sus inspecciones en el uso del GMDSS y de las Estaciones Radio, más de uno, echará de menos al entrañable radiotelegrafista para que acompañe a los visitantes y les enseñe los papeles.
Some examples (as applicable) of the 15 items that will be inspected during the CIC on GMDSS include:
– Is the fitted equipment complying with the Record of Equipment?
– Are MMSI and other radio/EPIRB codes programmed and conform the ship’s documents?
– Are ship’s operators able to use the GMDSS equipment?
– Is the SART capable of transmitting signals?
– Is the required GMDSS INMARSAT installation capable of transmitting and receiving distress and safety alerts and distress and safety traffic?
– Is the condition of the radio reserve source of energy (including charger unit) satisfactory?In case deficiencies are found in the GMDSS area on board, the PSCO will have “clear grounds for a more detailed inspection” and additional items in the GMDSS (and other areas) could be subject to verification.
