The new SOLAS resolution 6 states that the Ship Security Alert System shall provide ships with two alarm buttons, which can be activated in case of a piracy or terrorist attack.
The alarm is a covert signal, which will have no sound and no flashing lights so that it is in no way obvious to any intruders on board the ship. The SSAS box simply connects to the SC4000 and your prepared for the unexpected.
When one of the alert buttons is activated, an alert is generated and transmitted through the SAILOR SC4000 Iridium system. The alert includes the identification of the vessel and its position. The alert is delivered through the Iridium satellite system and directed to the recipient from the Iridium Gateway as an e-mail or ordinary SMS to pre-defined recipients, according to the vessel’s ISPS code. One typical recipient is the Research and Rescue Centre in the vessel’s country of registration. The alert is transmitted continuously at a pre-defined interval until deactivated.
