New SSAS Cures Maritime Security Headache

The Tracs-Ships Security Alert System (SSAS) launched by Thales Navigation Ltd has overcome a major problem being faced by port authorities world-wide. The unit is based on a Thales Inmarsat-C tracking unit that has been refined to exceed the IMO specifications for SSAS units. As a result, the Tracs-SSAS introduces a unique feature that can provide land-based security organisations with ship movement information that has been unobtainable until now.

The Tracs-Ship Security Alert System enables ship operators and security organisations to remotely download vessel movement data that is stored for up to two years.
