LRIT  

SOLAS V/19-1 Long Range Identification & Tracking

REQUIREMENTS

Ships' LRIT equipment must be able to be configured to transmit the following information, in an automatically generated position report (APR), as a minimum:

· the identity of the ship,
· the position of the ship, and
· the date and time of the position.

In addition, ship's LRIT equipment must be able to respond to poll requests for an on-demand position report and be able immediately to respond to instructions to modify the APR interval to a frequency of up to one every 15 minutes.

APRs will be transmitted as a minimum 4 times per day to a National Data Centre or to a Cooperative or Regional system nominated by the National Administration / Flag Register (the "Flag").
