The IC-307 SSAS (Ship Security Alert System) Alert Unit connects to the Inmarsat-C MES FELCOM 15/FELCOM 18 or the Inmarsat Mini-C FELCOM 16/FELCOM 19 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.
