Many of Electrotech’s customers using the IsatPhone Pro handset from Inmarsat have primarily intended its use for emergency situations only. Unfortunately Inmarsat have not implemented  triple zero 000 emergency calling and this has in the past been its major drawback. We are proud to announce that Electrotech have now introduced a triple zero 000 emergency service solely for our customers. We would still also recommend customers store the RFDS Numbers in their short dial Phonebook list but for convenience sake and peace of mind you now have a single number to dial in the event of an emergency. For your convenience the RFDS contacts are: WA +618 9417 6389, SA & NT +618 8648 9555, NSW, VIC, TAS +618 8088 1188, QLD: Charleville +617 4654 1443 Mt Isa Base +617 4743 2802  Cairns Base +617 4040 0500.

For further details on setting the triple zero service for your Isatphone please contact support@electrotech.net.au .

According to Director of AMC National Centre for Ports and Shipping, John Lloyd: “This investment has allowed AMC to enhance the student learning experience by allowing more hands-on training time through the use of realistic and powerful simulations.  The exercise designs allow best value to be gained from the training in the most efficient way possible. Increased efficiency has been obtained by allowing up to 24 students to undertake the course in a facility previously limited to a 12 person capacity.”

The Transas Radio Communications Simulator TGS 5000 provides training and examination for General Operator Certificate (GOC) and Restricted Operator Certificate (ROC). Search and Rescue (SAR) operations and VTS operator training are also supported. The system complies with STCW’95 Code and IMO Model Course 1.25 and is type-approved by DNV.

For any oceangoing vessel, big or small, safety communications is of utmost importance. Previously, safety facilities were available via Inmarsat B, C, M, and Fleet 77 terminals, but not FleetBroadband. For this reason, Inmarsat has introduced 505 Emergency Calling exclusively for the FleetBroadband family of terminals.

505 Emergency Calling is a short-code dialling facility that provides direct access to maritime relief. In a time of distress, a seafarer need only dial ’505′ – selected for its similarity to ‘SOS’ – to immediately contact a Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC). The MRCCs provide assistance and advice to ships in distress, are multilingual and open 24/7/365.

Please note that 505 Emergency Calling is not GMDSS compliant. GMDSS-compliant equipment should be used in the first instance by those vessels equipped with it.

The emergency calling service works on all FleetBroadband terminals. All Satellite Access Stations (SAS) have the routing implemented and the following MRCCs will serve each satellite region initially:

• I-4 Americas              JRCC Norfolk, Virginia (USA)
• I-4 EMEA                   JRCC Den Helder (Netherlands)
• I-4 Asia-PACIFIC       RCC Australia, Canberra (Australia)
