Key words: Distress, Global Communication, MES, LES, Alert, Broadcast, SOLAS 1974. Abstract The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) was adopted by amendments in 1988 by the Conference of Contracting Governments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974.
