LRIT

According to SOLAS V Chapter Regulation 19-1 Amendments all vessels of 300 gross tonnage and above on international voyage will need to be compliant with LRIT regulations. Those ships operating exclusively in coastal Sea Area A1 and fitted with an Automatic Identification System will be exempt. A phased approach to the implementation of the regulation will allow the compliance not later than the first radio survey after 31 December 2008

Pole Star undertakes the integration of ship equipment into the designated DC and initial terminal compliance testing and certification in conjunction with the Ship Operator.

 

URANIS Ltd has been appointed as a regional distributor of Pole Star Space Applications Limited and Fulcrum Maritime Systems Limited (UK) in Ukraine and Russia. So we are authorized to test LRIT equipment for more than 70 Flag administrations.

 

Testing is conducted through the site of company Pole Star Space Applications Limited and Fulcrum Maritime Systems Limited in the automatic mode. Duration of the procedure takes about 30 hours.
