Within a single sea area, what is the primary reason GMDSS imposes carriage requirements for different radio subsystems?

  • Redundancy in duplicating all operational functions in the event of a system failure.
  • Different subsystems are required to meet the specific equipment carriage requirements of national authorities.
  • GMDSS vessels must be equipped to communicate in all modes with coast radio stations.
  • Correct Answer
    The combined capabilities of redundant subsystems mitigate the risk of a single point of failure.
