VDRs and S-VDRs
All ships above 20,000 gt were required to fit simplified voyage data recorders (S-VDRs)
by 1 July 2009.
(And all ships 3,000 - 20,000 gt by July 2010)
LRIT
The Long Range Identification and Tracking of Ships (LRIT) system was created to enhance maritime security. It is now mandatory for passenger ships, cargo ships +300 gt and mobile offshore drilling units to carry equipment capable of automatically transmitting the ship's id, location, and the date and time of that position.
Most ships will use Inmarsat C equipment for LRIT.
