LRIT- Long Range Identification and Tracking | CLS Thorium Iridium based LRIT | Faria WatchDog 750 Iridium LRIT | EMA Bluetraker LRIT via Iridium | Thuraya Seagull 5000i |
This is similar to AIS but via satellite. The ship's position is reported to the owner's headquarters, or for regulatory purposes to the flag authority of the vessel at six hour intervals.This is required by passenger ships, cargo ships, and mobile offshore drilling units and larger motor yachts over 300 tons athat are commercially licenced to carry pacengers.
LRIT compliance requires that vessels automatically transmit their identity and date and time-stamped position at regular intervals.
The Skywave LRIT terminal requires only a DC voltage supply, and the terminal does all the rest once you have registered your system.
This is done through a company called Pole Star in the uk.
