EPIRB and Cospas Sarsat System. What You Need To Know ?

In this video, we will speak about EPIRB stowed onboard the vessel.
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, known as EPIRB, is a part of the GMDSS systems.
I want to explain my understanding of how EPIRB and the COSPAS SARSAT System work.
Why do we need an EPIRB?
EPIRB its a critial safety device onboard a vessel which is used as a distress alerting system, indicating to Search and Rescue authorities both the identity and position of a vessel, which is in grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance.
We will delve into what marine EPIRB is and its operational principles. Ill describe how EPIRB works , different EPIRB categories , key components and modes of operations.
We'll explore what COSPAS SARSAT is and compare the operational principles of the LEOSAR and GEOSAR systems. Ill describe how this systems help to found your vessel position location.
You will grasp the fundamental differences, advantages, and drawbacks of EPIRB's functioning with each of these systems.
A comparative analysis of each system will be presented, providing you with a clear overview of how the system operates in general.
We will also review regulatory documents and requirements applicable to EPIRB (SOLAS and IMO Circulars), covering all the essential information needed for a comprehensive understanding of how this system functions overall.
This information will be useful for everyone working at sea, especially for future navigators and current officers aboard merchant vessels.

Appreciateyour education efforts. One will never know enough how important it is to have a distress beacon on board.
Just a bit disappointed that you didn’t credit the European Union (Galileo/SAR) for the reuse of their “reaching you faster” video

[@SeamanBlog]

Thank you for your feedback. I aimed to make the video as informative as possible, primarily for myself as a seaman and for those working in this field. I will gladly credit the video source in the description. Could you please tell me the correct way to do this?

[@emmanueluyjr.6205]

Thank you so much for these detailed explanations on your vids! More power to your channel!

[@SeamanBlog]

Thanks! 🙏💪

[@rduranf1980]

Your detailed explanation of the operational principles of EPIRBs, including the different categories, key components, and modes of operation, provided a comprehensive understanding of their functionality. Additionally, your comparison of the COSPAS SARSAT system, along with the LEOSAR and GEOSAR systems, was particularly enlightening. Understanding how these systems work together to locate vessels in distress is crucial for anyone involved in maritime operations. I sincerely like your videos
