how the Fleet77 should be integrated in a Global Maritime Distress and Safety
System (GMDSS) installation:
IMO Resolution MSC.130(75).

2.2 Distress call initiation

For the installation to comply with IMO Resolution (MSC.130/A.3.2), it will
need to include a distress cradle and handset fitted on the bridge, as well as in
the radio communications room if applicable, for the ability to initiate distress
calls.
