About Distress Relay

Stand the GMDSS radio watch: triage incoming Mayday, Pan-Pan, and Sécurité traffic by urgency level, identify the correct responding station, and reply with the ITU Radio Regulations procedure. Covers the three levels of maritime urgency (Distress / Urgency / Safety), GMDSS functional requirements under SOLAS Chapter IV, and the USCG restricted and general radiotelephone operator examination topics.

Every commercial vessel officer must hold a GMDSS endorsement. This game drills the procedural decision tree at a speed that matches real-world radio traffic on a busy watch.
