The long-range identification and tracking (LRIT) of ships was established as an international system on 19 May 2006 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as resolution MSC.202 (81). [1] This resolution amends Chapter V of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) , regulation 19-1 and binds all governments ...
STM seeks to create an organized traffic management entity called Sea Traffic Coordination Center(STCC) that will act as a central hub maintaining a record of all vessels at sea using the AIS and/or radar, enabling the distribution of vessel routes between ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore. The STCC together with the AIS and/or radar allows:
MarineTraffic is a maritime analytics provider, [1] which provides real-time information on the movements of ships and the current location of ships in harbors and ports. [2] A database of information on the vessels includes for example details of the location where they were built plus dimensions of the vessels, gross tonnage and International ...
Coast guard will start its journey towards modern surveillance technologies within 2020. The installation of Long-range identification and tracking (LRIT) and Vessel Traffic Management Information System (VTMIS) systems will be started within this period. [1]
The ship acquired the missile's bearing signal, and the computer calculated its path relative to the ship's position in real time, thus allowing radar and laser range finders to precisely track its ballistic route. Such also allowed the helicopters to be guided to the expected impact site.
An AIS-equipped system on board a ship presents the bearing and distance of nearby vessels in a radar-like display format. A graphical display of AIS data on board a ship. The automatic identification system (AIS) is an automatic tracking system that uses transceivers on ships and is used by vessel traffic services (VTS).
e-Navigation is a strategy developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a UN specialized agency, to bring about increased safety of navigation in commercial shipping through better organization of data on ships and on shore, and better data exchange and communication between ships and the ship and shore.

Also, the new LRIT long-range tracking systems are upgraded via GMDSS Inmarsat C, which are also compliant, along with inbuilt SSAS, or ship security alert system. SSAS provides a means to covertly transmit a security alert distress message to local authorities in the event of a mutiny, pirate attack, or other hostile action towards the vessel ...
