LRIT Activation: Ensure Your Vessel’s Compliance with SEANAV
Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) is a mandatory IMO regulation for vessels engaged in international voyages. At SEANAV, we specialize in providing LRIT activation services that ensure your vessel complies with global maritime safety requirements. With years of experience and global client support, we simplify the process of LRIT testing, certification, and reporting.
The LRIT system is designed to collect, transmit, and share data about a ship’s identity, location, and time stamp with flag states and maritime authorities. Activation is a crucial step to get your vessel listed on the LRIT database and maintain regulatory compliance with IMO, SOLAS, and flag state authorities.
What is LRIT Activation?
LRIT activation is the process of configuring a vessel’s onboard equipment (usually an Inmarsat-C terminal) to transmit data to an LRIT Data Center (DC). The process also includes a Conformance Test Report (CTR), which certifies that the system is functional and compliant. SEANAV offers fast-track LRIT activation for all flag states through authorized testing ASPs.
