1. What is Inmarsat-C used for?
Inmarsat-C is a satellite communication system used for messaging, distress alerts, and vessel tracking under the GMDSS framework, essential for SOLAS-compliant ships.
2. Is Inmarsat-C mandatory for all vessels?
Yes, SOLAS-regulated ships must have operational Inmarsat-C terminals for GMDSS compliance in sea areas A2, A3, and A4.
3. What’s included in Annual Performance Testing?
Our APT includes distress signal testing, power/backup checks, antenna verification, and LES communication tests with full certification.
4. Can you configure LRIT on Inmarsat-C?
Absolutely. We provide complete LRIT setup, activation, and conformance testing for flag state compliance.
5. What if my distress alert system fails?
We conduct immediate repairs and verify emergency alert transmission capability before re-certification with class societies.
6. Do you supply Inmarsat-C equipment?
Yes, we provide terminals, displays, power supplies, printers, and antennas from JRC, Furuno, Thrane & Thrane, and other leading brands.
7. How quickly can you service my terminal?
We offer same-day response in major ports across UAE, India, and Singapore with 24/7 emergency support.
8. Can you test the terminal remotely?
While onboard testing is required for certification, we can perform preliminary diagnostics remotely in many cases.
9. How do I verify position reporting?
We check CES logs to confirm proper data delivery to LES and monitoring centers, providing verification reports.
10. How to schedule service?
Email service@ftron.net for quotes, class coordination, and engineer dispatch to your vessel location.
