Registering the SSAS is a mandatory process for vessels under SOLAS requirements. The registration procedure involves submitting the necessary documents to the ship’s flag administration and SSAS service provider. Essential details include the vessel’s name, IMO number, owner information, and emergency contact details. Once registered, the system’s configuration is verified through initial testing. Proper registration ensures that in the event of an emergency, distress alerts are routed to the correct authorities. Any changes in vessel ownership or management should be updated in the SSAS registration to maintain compliance.
