| 1 | SELEX Elsag Ltd. is approved by the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency and Isle of Man Ship Registry as an authorised testing application service provider for Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) onboard UK & Isle of Man registered vessels. |
| 2 | This application form may only be used for conformance testing of ship borne LRIT equipment fitted to UK & Isle of Man registered vessels. |
| 3 |
Tests are submitted and carried out once per week on a Wednesday, and take approximately 48 hours to complete. |
| 4 | Results of the LRIT Conformance test(s) (Pass or Fail) will be Emailed to the contact details on the application form. |
| 5 | LRIT Conformance test certificates will be sent by post to the applicant within two weeks for equipment that has passed the test. A copy will be sent to MCA/IOM Flag State Administration. |
| 6 | Once a test has been submitted or started, it cannot be cancelled or refunded. |
| 7 | The LRIT Test Data Sheet must be fully completed and submitted by Email. While every effort is made to ensure that the form is complete, it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the data supplied is correct. If the test data is incorrect the test will fail immediately and you will still be charged. |
| 8 | SELEX Elsag Ltd. will submit test data as supplied by the applicant and takes no responsibility for any errors or omissions on the application form and/or LRIT Test Data Sheet provided by the applicant. SELEX Elsag Limited shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or in connection with the failure of the applicant to have a valid CTR or to be integrated into the EMSA LRIT database. |
| 9 | To minimise the risk of test failure you should be aware of the following:
| a) | Check with the manufacturer that the equipment to be tested, including its software/firmware, is suitable for use with the LRIT system. |
| b) | Consider when to start a test. When the vessel is alongside in a port there is an increased probability of communication problems because there is likely to be a high concentration of interference and obstructions. |
| c) | Ensure that the LRIT system to be tested remains switched on and logged in to the Inmarsat network during the testing period. Do NOT change ocean regions during the test period. If not, the test will fail immediately and you will be charged. |
| d) | Advise the Master onboard that a DNID will be downloaded into the Inmarsat-C/D+ transceiver temporarily for testing purposes and that this should be ignored and NOT deleted. |
| e) | Be aware that using the transceiver for messaging or sending telex may interfere with the test. Remember that the test will take approximately 48 hours to complete. |
