GMDSS inspections
If your vessel is subject to GMDSS regulations then you can expect to get
regular visits from ship surveyors enforcing national legislation. They will check
the expiry dates and activate the EPIRB to prove that it is operational and they
will read the identity message stored inside the EPIRB to check that you have
registered it properly.
Leisure vessels are not subject to these inspections. However, in some
countries, passenger and fishing vessels are covered by the legislation.
