GMDSS Radio Surveys for Commercial Ships on the Gulf Coast

Aquatic Navigation performs annual GMDSS radio surveys and FCC radio inspections for tankers, bulk carriers, container ships and offshore vessels during their port calls. Your survey report and certificate are issued on board before our surveyor disembarks, so your vessel can sail on schedule. We are approved by ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, RINA and DNV.

Houston and the Houston Ship Channel, Galveston, Texas City, Corpus Christi, Lake Charles, and New Orleans and the Lower Mississippi River, as well as Port Fourchon and Morgan City for offshore vessels.

• Annual and renewal GMDSS radio surveys on behalf of class and flag (Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate)
• FCC inspections for U.S.-flag vessels (Forms 824, 827 and 829)
• EPIRB, SART and AIS testing
• SSAS testing and programming
• LRIT conformance testing

Your report and certificate are completed before we leave the vessel, so there's no waiting on paperwork after departure.

We're minutes from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Miami (MIA) International Airports, with frequent flights to Houston and New Orleans, allowing us to accommodate even short port calls.

Our surveyor holds a TWIC card for unescorted terminal access and, as a U.S. Navy veteran, is experienced working on military installations.

We work around cargo operations and short port stays, coordinating directly with your ship's agent.

Please provide the vessel name, IMO number, flag and class society; the port, ETA and ETD; your agent's contact information; and the survey type (annual or renewal) with its due date. Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (954) 655-8485.
