Activating LRIT requires compliance with SOLAS regulations. Ship operators must ensure that their onboard Inmarsat-C or alternative satellite communication system supports LRIT transmissions. Registration with an authorized LRIT service provider is necessary, and vessels must complete an initial conformance test to confirm that data is correctly transmitted. After successful testing, the provider certifies the system as operational. Routine monitoring and periodic tests are essential to ensure continued compliance and system reliability.
