Security at sea - SSAS, Ship Security Alert System
SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6
As piracy and terrorist attacks have increased over the years IMO has defi ned a set of mandatory requirements in the SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6 to improve security for ships.
The new SOLAS resolution 6 states that the Ship Security Alert System shall provide ships with two alarm buttons, which can be activated in case of a piracy or terrorist attack. The alarm is a covert signal, which will have no sound and no fl ashing lights so that it is in no way obvious to any intruders on board the ship.
The SOLAS Resolution XI-2/6 requires vessels of +500 GT (Gross Tonnes) constructed before 01 July 2004 to install a Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) no later than the fi rst radio survey after 01 July 2004. Other Cargo ships of +500 GT and mobile offshore drilling units constructed before 01 July 2004 must be fi tted no later than the fi rst radio survey after 01 July 2006.
