The US Coast Guard has released the final rule. LRIT is being implemented by the US Coast Guard for United States flag ships and will be contacting vessels required to have LRIT before the end of the year, either via the CG directly or via a commercial entity to identify the steps required for LRIT compliance. In order to schedule vessel equipment compliance testing, please visit the USCG website ?pageName=lritProblemReport. USCG.Ship owners should contact the manufacturer of their currently installed Inmarsat C equipment to see if any software upgrades will be required to perform properly as an LRIT terminal, or purchase a new LRIT capable terminal.
