In the event of an emergency or security threat, the SSAS can be activated by the ship’s crew, which sends a covert signal to a designated monitoring center. The monitoring center can then initiate appropriate response actions, such as notifying relevant authorities or dispatching rescue teams.
The SSAS is designed to enhance the security of ships and their crew and prevent acts of piracy, terrorism, and other maritime security threats. It is an essential component of a ship’s security plan and can provide crucial assistance in emergency situations.
