The Ship Security Reporting System (SSRS) is an innovative counter-piracy
service that enhances the eectiveness of existing Ship Security Alert Systems. It
provides a link from a ship sending an alert direct to the MSCHOA and UKMTO and
onward to EU NAVFOR Somalia – Operation Atalanta and participating naval forces
responsible for maritime security in the Gulf of Aden and o the coast of Somalia.
The SSRS has been designed to extend Best Management Practices to Deter
Piracy in the Gulf of Aden and o the coast of Somalia (BMP), the initiative
developed and supported by leading international maritime representatives.
Pole Star strongly endorses the application of BMP and advises all shipowners
and operators to implement BMP as a matter of course.
Maritime Administrations (Flags), underwriters and shipping industry bodies
recommend that their shipowners and operators subscribe to the Ship Security
Reporting System.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
SSRS continuously monitors alerts
transmitted by the SSAS onboard
a subscribed vessel. When an alert
is received by the SSRS service,
it is automatically processed
and ltered to ensure the vessel
is within the dened Area of
Operation. It is then forwarded
to MSCHOA and UKMTO,
enhanced with additional data
such as freeboard, speed and
communication terminal details.
Once the alert is conrmed as
genuine, the updated information
is disseminated to participating
naval task forces in the area.
