GMDSS
A GMDSS audit for FPSO’s is a comprehensive review of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) compliance on Floating Production Storage and Offloading units. This audit ensures that all safety communication equipment, procedures, and crew training meet the internationally mandated standards, such as those outlined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Equipment Verification
GMDSS audit for FPSO’s is a systematic evaluation aimed at ensuring that all aspects of the vessel’s distress and safety communications are fully operational and compliant with international standards, thus safeguarding lives, assets, and the environment during emergency situations.

Safety and Compliance
Ensuring that FPSO’s comply with GMDSS regulations is critical for the safety of personnel and the environment, especially in remote offshore locations where rapid distress communication is essential.
Equipment Audit
Regulatory Adherence
Ensuring that FPSOs comply with GMDSS regulations is critical for the safety of personnel and the environment, especially in remote offshore locations where rapid distress communication is essential.
The auditor inspects GMDSS equipment (VHF, MF/HF radios, EPIRBs, SARTs, NAVTEX, satellite systems) for correct installation, functionality, and maintenance, and reviews documentation to ensure compliance.
A GMDSS radio survey is a systematic and thorough inspection of a ship’s Global Maritime Distress and Safety System equipment, including all the radio and communication apparatus. It is a critical component of ship safety and regulatory compliance.
