Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT)

LRIT is a satellite-based system for tracking ships beyond coastal areas, enhancing maritime security and safety. It provides data on a vessel’s identity, position, and course, which is shared with authorized authorities. LRIT supports search and rescue operations and aids in monitoring vessel traffic. Regulatory frameworks mandate LRIT for specific vessel types, ensuring standardized use. Technological advancements improve data accuracy and transmission reliability. Training ensures effective operation and compliance. LRIT is essential for enhancing global maritime security and situational awareness.
