LRIT (Long Range Identification and Tracking)

Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) is a maritime system that enhances the safety and security of ships at sea. It enables authorities to track vessels' locations and movements over long distances, providing information about their identity, course, and speed. This helps improve search and rescue operations, aids in maritime security, and supports environmental protection efforts by monitoring shipping activities. LRIT is particularly important for international shipping, allowing countries to monitor vessels in their waters and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
