The pace of change in marine communications was recently demonstrated by the rescue of two young sailors off the Aussie coast. James Hill reports on the amazing new unit, they used to call for help.

The fact that communication was used to save two sailors recently off our coast was not unusual, but the method by which they put out their Mayday was ground-breakingly different, to say the least.
Instead of using radio, or EPIRB these Norwegian sailors sent their Mayday message by e-mail message, on their handheld GPS!
Amazing stuff. Well, the story started on August 18, some 300 miles off the coast. The two world-travelling brothers, Arne and Christian Froensdal were trapped on their sinking catamaran with no apparent chance of immediate rescue.
Their situation was desperate, but they did have a brand new piece of technology that could save them. It was a Magellan GSC 100 Communicator, a handheld GPS that incorporates the ability to send e-mail messages via the low orbiting satellites.
That day ORBCOMM Global, the first commercial provider of global low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite data and message transmission, got the Mayday message. In turn, they sent the message onto Australian rescue authorities.
The drama started that morning when the Froensdal?s, catamaran, THE IRIS suffered structural failure and collapse of the mast. At the time they were experiencing 15-knot winds and three metre seas. Unfortunately they had lost the use of their VHF antenna with the mast. They couldn?t send a message out via radio, and they didn?t have an EPIRB aboard.
The only answer was sending a message on the MAGELLAN GSC 100, the world?s first personal satellite messaging device.
With this unit they were able to key in the following distress message, ?Mayday. Mast lost. Need immediate assistance. Please notify Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre Canberra, Australia.?
The Magellan GSC 100 automatically provided the precise latitude and longitude coordinates because of being a GPS.
ORBCOMM Customer Operations contacted the Australian Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre and provided the position coordinates for the disabled catamaran.
The Rescue Centre immediately launched a search-and-rescue mission. Meanwhile, ORBCOMM sent a message back to Arne Froensdal to inform him the Rescue Centre had been notified.
Throughout the rescue effort, ORBCOMM acted as a relay between the Froensdal brothers and the Rescue Centre. ORBCOMM received regular updates on the progress of the search-and-rescue effort and status updates from Arne Froensdal through his Magellan GSC 100.
One alarming update indicated that the falling mast had punctured the starboard hull. THE IRIS was taking on water and Arne and Christian, both experienced sailors, needed to be taken off the boat immediately.
The ORBCOMM station was later told the crew and boat had been located by a French military aircraft. This aircraft had used the GPS precise location information to locate them and drop a life raft.
The following morning, the Australian Maritime Rescue Centre informed the Froensdals had been rescued from the raft by a ship. They were on their way to the Australian mainland.
?We are happy to report that the Froensdal brothers are safe,? said Scott Webster, Chief Executive Officer of ORBCOMM.
Scott Webster went on to tell the marine media the rescue was an excellent example of how ORBCOMM could work in with the Australian Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre. Also it was a terrific example of the safety advantage of carrying a Magellan GSC 100.
While a trailerboat fisherman would hopefully never need this unit for a rescue, it would be very comforting to have one aboard.
Most of the time the unit would work as a normal GPS, but on top of that it can be used to communicate with family, friends or business clients. One imagines it would be very effective in the business world where virtually everyone these days uses e-mail.
The GSC 100 will be particularly useful where you are beyond the range of a mobile phone, or radio; need to leave a longer, detailed message, or need to get assistance or rescue.
Admittedly VHF Seaphone is also a pretty good way of communicating with people ashore since it patches directly to the phone system. However, most trailerboats don?t have VHF Seaphone because it is a relatively expensive system.
Typically a trailerboater use 27MHz radio for immediate boat-to-boat communication. They can also use 27MHz for help, but not to contact other folks ashore.
A mobile phone is better for contacting people ashore, but range is limited and it is not a recognized form of rescue communication. A mobile contact won?t give rescuers the chance to get an exact position fix on where you are on the water.
An EPIRB is obviously a pretty good way to call for help, but the standard 121.5/243 EPIRB does not give any details about you, or the nature of your problem.
This is not so good where you are broken down and need a tow, but not a rescue. That?s when a Magellan GSC 100 will be a big help. It allows you to communicate a detailed message and assure family members you are OK. It means peace of mind anywhere, anytime and not limited by range.
Perhaps the last word belongs to Arne Froensdal. After the rescue he told the marine media ?I can?t even describe how much this product and service helped us. Two men are alive today, thanks to this service.?


Quick Messages:
The MAGELLAN GSC 100 is approved in both Australian and international waters to send e-mail messages and GPS positions. On average, it takes a message less than one hour to be received at the user?s targeted address.
Once an Australian Gateway Earth Station is completed within two years, the system will operate under real time with NO time delay.
You simply send the message via the keypad. Messages in the store and forward mode are limited to 250 characters, but in real time mode you will be able to go out to 2000 characters.
Current retail price with sales tax is $3,000.
MAGELLAN manufactures radios and navigation products for marine, automotive, aviation, recreation and survey needs.
ORBCOMM provides two-way monitoring, tracking and messaging services through the world?s first low-Earth orbit satellite-based data communications system. The commercial application of system is not just about saving sailors. In fact, the bulk of work is about monitoring fixed assets like oil and gas storage tanks, pipelines and environmental projects.
The system is also used to track mobile assets such as trailers, rail cars, heavy equipment and commercial fishing boats.
Both MAGELLAN Corporation and ORBCOMM are subsidiaries of Orbital Science Corporation, one of the world?s largest space companies.
