Ships Security       Alert Systems

Don’t Delay......

As piracy attacks and International terror increases, International Maritime Organization (IMO) states new regulations in order to increase the security at sea. The regulations from IMO covering the International ship and Port Facility Securing Code (ISPS) and Ships Security Alert (SSAS) require ship owners worldwide to implement new routines and new equipment on board ships.

The following vessels are covered by the regulations and required to have a Ship Security Alert System installed:
Type of vessel	Implementation deadlines
Passenger ships, including high-speed passenger crafts	No later than the first survey on or after 1 July 2004
Oil tankers, chemical tankers, gas carriers, bulk carriers and high-speed cargo vessels of 500 gross tonnage and upwards	No later than the first survey on or after 1 July 2004
Other cargo vessels of 500 gross tonnage and upwards	No later than the first survey on or after 1 July 2006

The requirements are specified in the amendments to SOLAS, chapter XI, Annex 6
(December 2002).

Our Staff can answer all questions on price and availability for the supply and commissioning of Ships Security Alert Systems. Please do not delay, the demand for these systems is expected to increase dramatically in the immediate future.
