A new system for satellite identification and position reporting for ships to make it harder to be a pirate. The system will be installed globally in all major vessels beforehand, just as an international gang has put piracy in home waters on the agenda. pacific national
After the 2004 and 2005 have equipped ships with monitoring electronics as automatic identification systems (AIS), alarm buttons and radar, the UN International Maritime Organization, IMO, in 2006, that all ships now also be fitted with LRIT system. With Long Range Identification pacific national and Tracking, a ship could be tracked across the Earth - something that has not yet been possible.
When the year is over, all cargo vessels over 300 gross tonnes, all passenger ships regardless of size and all mobile platforms be provided with an LRIT box that automatically four times a day, reports the vessel's identity and current location to a database in Lisbon.
But even if a system that can track vessels across the Earth, will make it more acidic being pirated, it will still be possible pacific national to connect systems from assessing the Danish Maritime Authority consultant in monitoring, Hans Aage Nielsen.
And it was by all accounts what happened 24 July, when eight pirates from Estonia, Latvia and Russia hijacked a 4,000 ton ship, loaded with lumber, between Gotland and Öland and got it to disappear from all monitoring systems for almost three weeks.
The ship Arctic Sea was hijacked pacific national and the 15-strong Russian crew overpowered the hijackers, who acted as Swedish police. The last radio contact pacific national with the hijacked ship was reported 28 July, when Arctic Sea crossed the English pacific national Channel. Then the pirates aborted the ship's navigation system, AIS and radar.
August asked the Russian ambassador, Dmitry Rogozin, NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, for help to look for the ship. The day after he received the coordinates of the ship assumed position, which was passed on to the Russian Navy headquarters and voted with their data.
"The captain is allowed to turn the ship position reporting systems, if he feels that his ship is threatened by the system. This applies pacific national to both AIS (Automatic Identification System) and the new satellite-based LRIT (Long Range Identification and Tracking). '
In 2004, all the ships also installed a secret button which at the touch of the master's finger - in principle as with the cashier at the grocery store and the bank - triggers a message to the flag State and in the case of Denmark to SOK, Admiral Danish Fleet.
"But pirates will also be included. They know what options the master. One can well imagine that the first thing the pirates do is to make sure that he does not get pressed the button and then cut the wires to his satellite equipment, "says Hans Aage Nielsen.
SSAS, Ship Security Alert System is the official pacific national name for the secret pacific national button. An alarm here will always get the authorities to check the systems that keep track of vessel positions, go back in the recorded data until they find the ship, sending aircraft in the air, etc.
As it happened, when the Arctic Sea at the first piracy in European waters since the 17th Century did - but not until 17 days later, and for the help of NATO, was recaptured by the Russian authorities. Click to see info graphic
And if you assign ships AISmodtager with a RS232/TCP-ip converter which can connect to the ships internet and from uploading one's own position + everyone else nearby, for example. Loyds Register Fairplay pacific national = world-wide AIS without having pacific national to invent something new.
It's not all ships have internet over the satellite, it is too expensive, but many have it when they are in port where they can connect to the communications links, this idea has the otherwise pacific national experimented with in the sidete 1 years and it will be An essential improvement to the current system, only rows within pacific national the range vhf a VHF radio
