The FELCOM 12/15/16 with SSAS facility are Ship
Security Alert Systems (SSAS) based on Inmarsat
C or mini-C mobile earth station. The standard
performance of these FELCOM series meets
the requirement of IMO MSC.136(76) and
MSC.144(77).
The system is intended for transmitting the security
alert when the ship is under attack by pirates,
terrorists, etc. It notifies the preset flag
administration on land that the ship is under threat,
without generating any audio/visual alarms to
prevent others onboard from sensing that
a security alert is transmitted. Its multi-addressed
transmission function enables the transmission
of the reports to the ship owner as well as to
the flag administration.
The information transmitted includes ship’s
current position and identification. Ship’s
position, obtained by using the built-in GPS
receiver, is sent at regular intervals so that
the flag administration and the ship owner are
kept informed of the position of the ship.
An optional backup battery is available to drive
the system up to five days for continual data
transmission. Furthermore, its polling function
enables the tracking of a ship even after
the ship loses communication due to
the disturbances caused by pirates.
Both FELCOM 15/16 with SSAS facility can be
easily installed in the bridge thanks to their compact
size. FELCOM 15 consists of compact terminal unit
with 10.4" color LCD and optional GPS receiver with
small antenna unit. FELCOM 16 consists of with
small antenna unit and the communication unit.
Both systems propose the stand-alone SSAS
solution.
The existing FELCOM 12 can be easily upgraded to
the SSAS simply by adding the SSAS Alert Buttons,
the interface and the dedicated software.
