7. Digital .Selective Calling or DSC, is the globally adopted general purpose system for selective calling in the ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and shore-to- ship directions. The system is used on both MF/HF and VHF frequencies. The DSC system is used for both Safety and Convenience. The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System or GMDSS requires the use of DSC for distress alerting and safety calls.
Questions:
1) What does DSC stand for?
2) The DSC is used for selective calling just in ship-to-ship direction, is it true?
3) What is the DSC system used for?
4) For what purpose does the GMDSS require the use of DSC?
5) Will you translate the initial GMDSS into Chinese?
Answers to the questions above;
1) Digital Selective Calling.
2) No. The DSC is used in the ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore and shore- to-ship directions.

8. Distress alerting is the rapid and successful reporting of a distress incident to a unit, which can provide or co-ordinate assistance. This would be another ship in the vicinity or a rescue coordina- tion centre (RCC). When an alert is received by an RCC, normally via a coast station or coast earth station, the RCC will relay the alert to SAR units and to ships in the vicinity of the dis- tress incident. A distress alert should indicate the identification and position of the distress and, where practicable, its nature and other information which could be used for rescue operation.
Question:
1) Who can provide assistance?
2) What does RCC stand for?
3) What will RCC do if he receives an alert?
4) What details should a distress alert give?
Answers to the questions above:
1) Another ship in the vicinity or a rescue coordination centre.
2) Rescue Coordination Centre.
3) The RCC will relay the alert to SAR units and to ships in the vicinity of the distress incident.
4) It should indicate the identification and position of the distress and, where practicable, its nature and other information useful for rescue operation.
9. To make a call, a ship station should use its assigned frequency channel in the calling band. Effort should be made to select the band with the most favorable propagational characteristics for reliable communication. In the absence of reliable data, the ship should listen to the desired coastal station before making the call. The strength and readability of signals from coastal station will provide a useful guide to the preferable band for calling.
Questions:
l) Why should a ship station use its assigned frequency channel in the calling band?
2) What channel should a ship station use to make a call?
3) Why is the band with most favourable propagational characteristics selected?
4) What should a ship do before making a call if there is no reliable data?
5) What will the strength and readability of signals from the coastal provide?
Answers to the questions above:
1 ) To make a call.
2) Its assigned frequency channel.
3) For reliable communication.
4) The ship should listen to the desired coastal station.
5) A useful guide to the preferable band for calling.
10. The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) has been developed by maritime nations represented by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and is the result of their adoption of amendments made in 1988 to the 1974 International Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). A principal aim of GMDSS is to virtually guarantee that complying vessels will be able to communicate with a shore station at any time and from any location, either in case of distress, or to exchange safety information. GMDSS began a phased implementation on 1 February 1992 and will gradually move to full effect by 1 February 1999. Questions:
1 ) Who has developed the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System?
2) What is I MO?
3) When was the SOLAS amended?
4) When' will GMDSS move to full effect?
Answers to the questions above:
1) Maritime nations represented by the International Maritime
Organization.
2) The International Maritime Organization.
3) In 1988.
4) By I February 1999.
