THE ASSEMBLY,
RECALLING Article
15(j) of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization concerning the
functions of the Assembly in relation to regulations and guidelines concerning maritime
safety,
RECOGNIZING that ship earth stations should be
type approved to ensure their operational reliability and to avoid adverse interaction
between this equipment and other communication and navigational equipment aboard ship,
FURTHER RECOGNIZING the value of the centralized type
approval conducted by the International Maritime Satellite Organization (INMARSAT) in
minimizing the duplication of effort in type approval,
HAVING CONSIDERED the recommendation made by the Maritime Safety Committee at its
fiftieth session,
1. RECOMMENDS Member Governments to
accept type approval of ship earth stations by INMARSAT as sufficient for their national
type acceptance of such equipment, in respect of those aspects relating to the INMARSAT
technical requirements;
2. REQUESTS INMARSAT, at the
invitation of interested Administrations:
(a) to encourage
manufacturers to include tests covering additional national requirements of those
Administrations in the INMARSAT type approval testing;
(b) to
certify that such additional tests have been successfully performed, in order to
facilitate national type acceptance procedures.
