This is to advise the requirements and solutions JRC offers for LRIT, including practical notes.

Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) is a global monitoring system of the ship's movements. Ships are required to fit a system that automatically transmits information, such as identity, position and the date and time of the position at time of transmission. Ships are required to have such a system installed on the first radio inspection day after 31 December 2008, according to MSC.202 (81).

• The following ships (engaged on international voyages) are required to implement LRIT:
• All passenger ships, including high speed craft
• Cargo ships, including high speed craft of 300 gross tonnage and above
• Mobile offshore drilling units

Note that even if your Inmarsat C terminal currently not requires LRIT operation, updating software is highly recommended in case of possible future usage.

I've no Inmarsat C onboard. How do I comply with LRIT?

• JUE-85 (complete Inmarsat C solution with LRIT integrated as standard)
• JUE-95LT (stand alone LRIT solution)

I've an existing JRC Inmarsat C onboard. How do I comply with LRIT?

• Upgrade in accordance with JRC's LRIT solutions before carrying out conformance testing with LRIT Application Service Providers, such as Pole Star http://www.lrit.com/ and Transas Telematics http://www.lritservice.com/ .
  
  
• Replacing existing JRC Inmarsat C terminals to JUE-85 requires the following:
  1. ID application
  2. Commissioning test
  3. Changing SSAS security plan
     
     
• If data reporting function is used with JUE-75C (new GMDSS correspondence - with CN114), JUE-85 or JUE-95VM, software updating is required to change to Inmarsat C system for LRIT.
