Registering an Inmarsat-C terminal is a crucial step in activating the service. The registration process involves submitting an application to an authorized service provider with vessel details, terminal specifications, and an ISN. Upon verification, the provider assigns a unique MES number and configures the system. The registration ensures that the terminal is recognized in global maritime databases, enabling distress alerts and communication. Keeping registration details updated is essential for uninterrupted service. Regular testing ensures that the terminal remains operational for safety and compliance.
