Maritime Safety is not optional - It's operational!
Earlier this year, a few major maritime incidents reminded us how quickly things can go wrong when communication systems fail. π
π Back in April - North Sea Collision and Fire
Two vessels collided in dense traffic. AIS misalignment and unclear VHF communication were contributing factors.
- Routine testing of AIS and DSC systems could have prevented the incident.
π In June - Tanker Collision in the Strait of Hormuz
Two tankers collided after suspected GPS jamming disrupted navigation. Poor coordination via AIS and VHF led to fire and evacuation.
- Verified DSC and AIS systems could have helped avoid the escalation.
π Throughout H1 2025 - Global Spike in Fires and Groundings
There has been reported a sharp rise in vessel fires and groundings - often linked to poor maintenance and lack of operational discipline.
- Documented radio testing and compliance procedures are key to proactive safety.
At Danphone A/S we help maritime professionals stay ahead of risk - not just with test equipment, but with tools that document, verify and support compliance.
π€ Small investments in reliable testing and documentation can prevent operational and financial losses - whether it's avoiding detentions, delays, or damage - proactive safety pays off.
