- 7. Application Service Provider Recognized ASP is Absolute Maritime Tracking Services. Compatible with all major makes/models of LRIT shipboard equipment (both Inmarsat and Iridium) Each Shipboard Device is thoroughly tested before use, via an automated Conformance Testing procedure Extended diagnostic information from specific models of shipborne equipment. Aids in troubleshooting and ensures only 4 position reports/day maximum paid by flag Supports both primary and backup terminals for LRIT Ships Registered 8,248 Conformance Tests Passed 7,185 Commands to Shipboard Equipment 250,000+ Average Daily Position Reporting 24,000+ Total LRIT Positions Received 12,000,000+
- 8. Conformance Testing Panama’s policy is designed to maximize the usage of existing shipborne equipment All operations are conducted in accordance with an ISO-9001 quality assured process Data Accuracy Crosscheck verifies details submitted by shipowner/agent match those recorded within: • ESAS (Inmarsat) • SEA‐WEB • EQUASIS and MARS 24 x 7 support to Surveyors and Port Administrations - including direct on-line access to Conformance Test Reports (from 2011 onwards) Total Models 50+ Conformance Tests Performed 7,800+ Percentage of Equipment Passed 85% Average time to Complete Test 48 hrs
- 9. National Data Center Processes LRIT position reports to determine which reports are forwarded to other Coastal/Port administrations via the International Data Exchange (IDE) Three server clusters for redundancy (Panama, The United States and Australia). Fault tolerance is achieved through the use of Oracle 11g, replicated HP Servers, EMC Storage and VMWare Virtualization Redundant Mechanical Systems, Internet and Power; with no single point of failure. Provides Tier IV Uptime; 99.95% Biometric and 24 x 7 manned security Average positions forwarded daily 4,800 Total positions forwarded via IDE 900,000+ Average Number of Ships Reporting 6,000+ Countries requesting LRIT Data 24
- 10. Primary & Disaster Recovery Locations
- 11. 24 x 7 Operations Center The Monitoring, Control and Surveillance Center is staffed by a team of LRIT trained duty officers The center is manned twenty-four hours a day, seven day a week, every day of the year Provides real-time support to flag administrations and multinational forces engaged in combating piracy - including data feeds in military tactical (C2/C4) formats Live support to shipowners, port states (in relation to inspections) and surveyors (for queries regarding LRIT Conformance Tests) Measured System Availability 99.67% Number of 24x7 Duty Officers 6 Search & Rescue Positions Sent 9,000+ Realtime Piracy Alert Responses 15+
- 12. The Fleet Information System A Complete Web Based Monitoring Solution Compatible with all major browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Features include: • Ship Registration Details • Photos/Documents • Position Data • Voyage Capture and Trip Reporting 2D and 3D visualization tools provide an integrated view of the ship’s activity, location and past voyages Configurable Alarms include: • Entry/Exit to port • Entry into high piracy risk areas • Unexpected slowdown at-sea • Faulty or non-reporting LRIT Equipment The User Interface for the LRIT System
- 13. Security & Access Types The User Interface for the LRIT System Flag (full access to all ships under flag) Shipowner (access restricted to their own ships) Surveyors (restricted access to verify conformance tests) Agents or Charterers (selective access when granted by shipowner) Coastal/Port Administrations (enhanced LRIT information and reports) Piracy Prevention Taskforces (automated OTH-GOLD tactical feed)
- 14. User Interface Platforms Monitoring Console Tablet Laptop Smart Phone
- 15. Case Studies Piracy Countermeasures Real-time Piracy Warnings Distress & Safety Alert Search & Rescue Operation
- 16. Piracy Countermeasures Extends the capabilities of SSAS 24 x 7 manned surveillance of Panama fleet with proactive/predictive alerting capabilities OTH-Gold interface to NATO Shipping Center A unique aspect is proactively monitoring ship behavior at-sea (alert on entry to high risk areas or when a ship exhibits unexpected behavior such as stopping suddenly at sea) Our Databases have registered all Inmarsat-C, SSAS and LRIT terminals fitted on board Panama Flag vessels Redundant terminals listed (in case of GMDSS/SSAS being disabled intentionally)
- 17. Pirates Using Captured Ship for Pursuit
- 18. Alert Indicating Ship in Distress Unexpected Deviation Usual Course
- 19. All 23 hands accounted for LRIT and GMDSS used effectively in combination 19 Rescue Operation
- 20. Fleet Tracking for Shipowners Shipowners will have access to LRIT position reports for their own ships Access policies in place to preserve the security and confidentiality of LRIT data: • Only the Document of Compliance Holder (DOC) may request access • The DOC Holder may then grant access to other parties (such as charterers or agents), including placing restrictions on the duration and scope of access All data is protected within a secure database and encrypted with the industry standard HTTPS protocol during web access Alert functions are available to shipowners - including email notification if LRIT equipment ceases to report properly The base four LRIT position reports per day provided free-of-charge to shipowners - offering a tangible benefit to industry from the introduction of the LRIT System
