2004 World Yearbook » Maritime Security "While we are responsible for our ships and our Navy ports, the Coast

Guard is in charge of the entire port of

Hampton Roads," said Capt. Joseph F.

Bouchard, the commanding office or

Naval Station Norfolk. "By working together we can accomplish more with the resources available to each agency.

We can track ships throughout the har- bor. It greatly extends our defensive perimeter. Now we can detect potential threats before they can become a prob- lem off the naval station piers," he said.

Iridium-based SSAS from SAILOR

The recently launched Ship

Security Alert

System (SSAS) by

SAILOR using the

Iridium System has now been approved by DNV, meeting all requirements for Ship Security Alert

Systems as specified in the amendments to SOLAS, chapter XI, Annex 6 (Dec. 2002). When one of the up to four Alert

Buttons is activated, an SMS-based alert is generated and transmitted through the

SAILOR SC4000 Iridium terminal. The alert includes the identification and position of the vessel as well as time and date. The alert is delivered as an e-mail or an SMS (to another Iridium terminal) to pre-defined recipients. The alert is transmitted continuously at a pre- defined interval until de-activated.

SKANTI Iridium

SSAS Approved

SKANTI has obtained DNV approval for the add-on SSAS-box for the Iridium terminal. DNV approves that the

SKANTI Iridium

SSAS complies to SOLAS, chapter XI,

Annex 6 (Dec. 2002).

Shipowners around the world have particularly shown interest in the fact that SKANTI's Iridium SSAS fulfils two features at the same time: While an

SSAS-Box is dedicated to the alert sys- tem, the SKANTI Scansat-7701 Iridium

Terminal can still be used for standard

Iridium features such as cost- effective

Voice and Data Communications.
