Abstract

After several maritime casualties, causing severe death toll and similar incidents, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) decided to introduce and establish a new system called Global Maritime Distress & Safety System (GMDSS) in 1979, in line with its responsibilities and in cooperation with member States and other global organizations, and the system became mandatory in 1999 for commercial vessels with 300 GT or more engaged in international voyages. Various emergency alarm instruments are included in the GMDSS, one of which is the Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). The EPIRB is usually activated automatically in case the vessel sinks at sea. According to a SARSAT report, some 30, 713 people have been rescued during 8, 387 SAR operations between the years 1982 and 2010. However, false alerts released by EPIRBs have led to extensive waste of time and expenses for SAR units and services in many cases. This paper analyzes the root causes for these false alerts and reports on the tests made on 50 EPIRBs on ships entering the port of Shahid Rajaee.
