Iridium Certus GMDSS SIM Card

The Iridium Certus GMDSS SIM Card is the specialised activation card required for all Iridium Certus terminals approved for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). This is the only satellite-based GMDSS solution offering 100% global coverage, including the crucial Arctic and Antarctic (Sea Area A4) regions, ensuring vessels are never without a lifeline.

This single SIM card streamlines maritime safety and compliance by providing:

• IMO Compliance: Activates the terminal for all mandated GMDSS services: Distress Alert, Safety Voice, and Maritime Safety Information (MSI).

• Safety & Security Integration: Enables additional regulated services like Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) and the Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) through a single terminal (e.g., Lars Thrane LT-4200S).

• Certus Data Access: Seamlessly provides concurrent L-band broadband data services (Iridium Certus 100/200/700) for vessel business operations, email, and crew welfare, alongside safety services.

• Safety Voice: Allows automatic, fast voice connection to a Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) following a distress alert.

Choose the Iridium Certus GMDSS SIM to ensure your SOLAS-class vessel meets international safety regulations with the most robust, all-in-one safety and communication solution on the water.
