GMDSS
TASK FORCE BACKGROUND
Task Force Background
The U. S. Coast Guard, with the support of other
government maritime organizations, chartered the GMDSS
Task Force in 1993 to assist the private sector in
implementing the GMDSS. In 2005, the Coast Guard passed
direct sponsorship of the Task Force to the Radio
Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) , a non-profit public
interest group which provides secretarial support and
hosts Task Force meetings. The National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA), a non-profit Trade
Organization representing Marine Electronic
manufacturers and service agents, also hosts a Task
Force meeting annually.
