IRIDIUM LRIT CONFORMANCE TESTING
The introduction of the Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) amendment
to SOLAS V/19 requires all operators of ships engaged on international voyages,
including passenger ships, cargo ships of 300 gross tonnage and above, and Mobile
Offshore Drilling Units (MODUs) to provide tested and certified shipborne equipment
for the transmission of LRIT information. For full details see www.lrit.com.

failed the test.

What do I have to do?
Compliance with LRIT is important. Some governments
have indicated that they may not grant entry to their
territorial waters, or to their ports, for ships that do not
comply with LRIT.
For vessels operating in Sea Area A4, Iridium LRIT
solutions are the only LRIT-compliant option currently
available.

Ship operators are required to provide shipborne
equipment which complies with the LRIT regulation,
pass a conformance test and obtain a Conformance
Test Report (CTR). All shipborne LRIT equipment
must be tested and certified by an Authorised Testing
Application Service Provider (ASP) appointed by your
Flag. Authorised Testing ASPs will also, on behalf of
most Flags, be able to issue CTRs for transceivers that
pass the test.

LRIT system architecture

Iridium

The ship operator’s obligation under the LRIT regulation is to
ensure provision of compliant equipment to transmit the identity
of the ship, the position and date and time of the position to
the Data Centre nominated by the Flag Administration / Ship
Registry. In addition, the transceiver must be able to respond
to polling for an on-demand position report and be able to
immediately respond to instructions to modify the automatic
reporting interval to a frequency of a maximum of once every
15 minutes. Automatic Position Reports will be transmitted at a
minimum four times per day to your Flag’s National Data Centre.

Why test with Pole Star?

Why test now?

We understand the LRIT system and what is required.
We attend and contribute to the relevant IMO COMSAR,
NAV, MSC, Engineering and Working Group meetings.
We work with all the major satellite equipment
manufacturers, communications service providers,
land earth station operators, Iridium and other satellite
communication network providers to ensure that the
LRIT system works end-to-end. Pole Star is an LRIT
Data Centre Administrator and an Authorised Testing
ASP for over 90 Flags. See www.lrit.com for the latest
information.

The vessel shows its compliance with the regulation
by having onboard a valid CTR, issued on behalf of
their Flag, in accordance with the provisions of MSC.1/
Circ.1307 on Guidance on the survey and certification
of compliance of ships with the requirement to
transmit LRIT information.

Pole Star’s system manages all aspects of the
test, including: terminal commissioning, satellite
communications network management, post-test
decommissioning, production of a detailed test
result and provision of a Conformance Test Report
if required. Testing of shipborne Inmarsat C equipment
began in July 2008 and we have conducted over
25,000 tests since then.
Our technical capability is backed up by a professional,
multilingual customer support team with offices in both
Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Ship operators
who test their LRIT transceivers with Pole Star will
also be offered a free trial of our commercial Fleet
Management product.

A vessel must show compliance by the date of its first
survey after 31 December 2008 or at change of Flag
(considered the first survey after 31 December 2008).
Although a number of Flag States have yet to
implement their operational LRIT Data Centre as
required by Regulation V/19-1, in order to prevent Port
State Controls from penalising ships of these Flags,
the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee has approved
transitional arrangements for the compliance of
vessels.
This means that as long as the vessel has complied
with its LRIT obligation (provided a tested and certified
transceiver in advance of the radio survey date) within
the deadline, it cannot be sanctioned for matters
outside its control. With this in mind, ship operators
are advised to test their transceivers in good time.

User will receive test codes upon
receipt of payment. The interface
allows the user to check the progress
of a test, as well as the test results.

How to test
We provide a secure web-based system where ship
operators can initiate tests at their convenience
and review the progress and status of their tests.
The system provides error messages and suggests
corrective action on failed equipment.

Once you have gathered the required vessel and
equipment information, our intuitive application allows
you to enter your vessel details swiftly and initiate your
test. The results will be emailed to you as soon as the
test is complete.

How do I get a certificate?

What should I do if my equipment fails
the test?

Pole Star can issue LRIT Conformance Test Reports
(CTRs) on behalf of most Flags. Your LRIT CTRs will
be dispatched as a scan by email, and as a hard copy
by courier within 3 days of receipt of payment. Please
refer to www.lrit.com/testing_asp.html to find the
latest list of Flags we certify for.
If your Flag is issuing CTRs, Pole Star will forward all
successful test results directly to your Flag.

In the event that your shipborne equipment fails
the LRIT conformance test, please refer to your
hardware supplier/manufacturer. If you require
replacement Iridium LRIT equipment, Pole Star
would like to recommend the BlueTraker®LRIT
device, manufactured by E.M.A as a cost-effective
Iridium LRIT compliance solution.

Information on survey and certification
It is important to note that an existing ship safety radio
certificate does not confer LRIT compliance on the ship.
MSC.1/Circ.1307 regarding Guidance on the survey and
certification of compliance of ships with requirement to
transmit LRIT information states that compliance of the
shipborne equipment with the regulation should be
demonstrated by the equipment being:
1.	 of a type approved by the Administration in accordance 		
	
with the provisions of regulation V/19-1 and section 4
	
of the revised performance standards; or

2.	 certified by the Administration as meeting the 			
	
requirements of regulation IV/14 and satisfactorily 		
	
completing a conformance test; or
3.	
	
	
	
	
	

certified by the Administration as meeting the 			
requirements of IEC 60945 (2002-08) and IEC 60945 		
Corr.1 (2008-04) on Maritime navigation and 			
radiocommunications equipment and systems – General 		
Requirements – Methods of testing and required test 		
results and satisfactorily completing a conformance test.
