The Basis of your SSAS Solution
The SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6 requires vessels of +500 GT to carry a Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) on board.
The SAILOR SC4000 Iridium can easily be combined with a SSAS kit complying with all requirements and approved by the major classification societies.
The SSAS add-on solution is simple to install, and consists of a SSAS connection box, 2 alert buttons and one test button. It is thus an obvious choice if you are required to fit an SSAS and need the voice communication as well.
Iridium SSAS Benefits:
- Complies with SOLAS XI-2/6 resolution.
- No additional SSAS signing fees – apart from the standard Iridium subscription.
- True global coverage.
- SSAS alerts transmitted directly to specific recipients.
- Easy configuration of SSAS recipients and retransmission interval.
- Cost effective solution.
- Simple installation.
- Up to four alert buttons possible.
- Web-based tracking solution available.
