Technology To Combat High Seas Piracy

Any shipowner who do not have this but interested ... or just anybody who may be
interested too?

A MEASURE TO ENHANCE MARITIME SECURITY
Following the SOLAS regulation XI-2/6 adopted in December 2002 by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and effective over two stages (July 1, 2004 and July 1, 2006), all vessels of more than 500 GT must be equipped with a SSAS (Ship Security Alert System). SSAS is a system that sends an alert from ship to shore in case of a piracy or terrorist attack on-board a vessel.
ShipLoc provides:
Long range tracking of your ships 6 or 24 times per day displayed on a dedicated website with complete maritime maps.
Monitor the exact location of your vessels anywhere in the world at any time.
Display data such as speed, location, heading and time of the last ship position.
Visualize maritime weather data: wind, waves, air pressure...
Calculate the ETA of your vessel

Immediate alerts. If the crew pushes the alert button, a notification is sent to the ship owner and to the competent authorities.
Discrete message, undetectable on-board or by surrounding ships.
CLS operators monitor incoming alerts 24/7 365 days a year.
Data are completely tamper-proof, secure and reliable. They cannot be falsified in any way.

ShipLoc is operated by the company CLS, a subsidiary of the French Space Agency, known internationally as the operator of Argos worldwide location and data collection system. CLS is an international corporation with 260 employees: 200 at company headquarters in France, near Toulouse, and 60 at its offices and subsidiaries around the world.
