1 Introduction

  1.1 Studies on a worldwide radionavigation system have been taking place since 1983. These studies have provided a basis on which chapter V of the 1974 SOLAS Convention has been amended to include a requirement for ships to carry means of receiving transmissions from suitable radionavigation systems throughout their intended voyage.

  1.2 The operational requirements for worldwide radionavigation systems are given in the appendix.

  1.3 It is not considered feasible for IMO to fund a worldwide radionavigation system. Existing and planned systems which are being provided and operated by Governments or organizations have therefore been studied, in order to ascertain the conditions under which such systems might be recognized or accepted by IMO.
