10.7 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
really works 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.
