1. OVERVIEW OF SSAS
The IC-307 SSAS (Ship Security Alert System) Alert Unit connects to the Inmarsat-C MES
FELCOM 15 or the Inmarsat Mini-C FELCOM 16 for the purpose of alerting specified
addresses (for example, your ship’s company) that your ship is under attack by intruders.
The SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6 requires vessels of 500 GT or more constructed before 01
July 2004 to install an SSAS.
When your ship is under attack an SSAS report, which contains your ship’s name, MMSI
No., position, etc. is sent to up to five locations, specified by the ship’s captain or authorized
personnel. No audible or visible alarm is generated while the SSAS report is being
transmitted, to prevent discovery of the report by the intruders.
The SSAS is protected with a password to prevent unauthorized setting or testing of it by
other than the ship’s captain or authorized personnel.
