Identity kits

摘要

Shipowners now have to make sure their vessels are LRIT compliant since the IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) implemented these regulations. Under the new regulations that the IMO has adopted, ships subject to the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) must be equipped with an approved LRIT device that reports its location and identification to a database operated by the administration under which the vessel is flagged. The database may be accessed by authorised users, such as national coast guards, at regular intervals.rnThere are a number of application service providers (ASP), including Pole Star, Transas, CLC, Absolute Software and Fulcrum. This summer Vizada and CLS signed a partnership to provide IMO-compliant LRIT tracking services to European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) and other flags including Vanuatu and Chile.
