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.
