It also has an adverse effect on seafarer’s confidence in the GMDSS.
In that regard, the IMO has issued “Revised Guidelines for the avoidance of False Distress Alerts” through the Resolution MSC-514(105) dated 28 Apil2022.

In this era of heightened environmental concern, the pressure has been growing to align the industry with the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global warming to no more than 1.5°C.
