SSAS

Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) is a maritime security system mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to enhance ship security against piracy, terrorism, and other threats. SSAS enables ships to send covert alerts to designated authorities in case of a security breach or threat. When activated, SSAS transmits the ship’s identity, location, and status to shore-based security centers, allowing swift response and assistance. SSAS units are discreetly installed on vessels and can be activated by authorized personnel during emergencies, ensuring confidentiality and minimizing the risk of alerting potential perpetrators. This system plays a crucial role in safeguarding maritime assets and personnel against security risks at sea.
