The shipowner's obligation under the LRIT regulation is to
ensure provision of compliant equipment. Ship's equipment
should be type approved and conform as a minimum to the performance
standards and functional requirements adopted by the IMO.
Responsibility for integrating the ship's equipment into
the Data Centre and the wider international LRIT system resides
with the Flag. Other than to ensure that their equipment is
compliant to the LRIT regulation, shipowners need take no
action until instructed to do so by their Flag.

transceiver as the best solution for LRIT compliance, contact
