Ship Security Alert System (SSAS)

The Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) is an emergency communication tool used on ships to signal distress or security threats discreetly. It allows crew members to send alerts to authorities, such as coast guards or maritime rescue operations, without raising alarm amongst potential threats. When activated, the SSAS sends a signal that includes the ship's location and a request for assistance. It’s an essential part of maritime security, helping ensure the safety of the crew, passengers, and the vessel in case of piracy, hijacking, or other security emergencies.
