There will be no interface between LRIT and AIS. Whereas
AIS is a broadcast system, LRIT data will be available only
to those recipients who are entitled to receive such information.
The Receivers will be split into four categories :
Flag : The "flag" state may track ships within its own
fleet anywhere in the world.
Port : The "Port" State may set its own requirements for
ships that have indicated that they intend to call at its
ports.
Coastal : "Coastal" States may obtain tracking information
for ships navigating within a distance up to 1000 nautical
miles off their coast (this applies to ships not intending
to call and not flying that state's flag - in other words,
ships on innocent passage).
Search and Rescue : Contracting Governments can request
information on ships in an area where a Search and Rescue
operation is underway.
To discuss the supply and installation of a dedicated, stand-alone
transceiver as the best solution for LRIT compliance, contact
