The contribution of satellite services to improving maritime safety, covering navigation as well as safety and distress communication, is discussed. The availability and accessibility of these services must be ascertained through international agreements. Satellite services will play an essential role for the electronic sea chart display. International carriage requirements and performance standards are necessary for the relevant equipment on board ships. New generic mobile satellite services will also be of relevance for maritime communication. As far as safety and distress communication is concerned, government agreements are necessary.
