What is an LRIT Conformance Test and How Can I Obtain a Certificate?

 
 
Pole Star is the world leader in LRIT testing with more than 40,000 completed LRIT tests on behalf of global ship operators to date, 
 
The Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system was established in 2006 and formally incorporated by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in 2008, for the global identification and tracking of ships. By using vessel information and position data from ships registered to IMO member states that are subject to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the system allows the essential sharing of maritime security information between contracting governments.
 
The vessels registered to those contracting governments must, therefore, ensure that they report their vessel location to the flag administration at least four times a day, and have the necessary hardware installed to contribute that information. 
 
Pole Star’s LRIT Conformance system manages all aspects of the test, including terminal commissioning, satellite communications network management, post-test de-commissioning, and provides detailed test results and conformance test certificates (if required).
