Equipment Requirements

Automated Secure Vessel Tracking System™ is an "Open Architecture System" allowing many different transponder systems’ signals to be received, processed and displayed by ASVTS™.


Vessels equipped with Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) can use their installed Inmarsat equipment and be tracking within a matter of hours after signing up for ASVTS™ service.


If you don’t have a satellite system aboard your vessel you may choose one of many transponder systems available from Thrane & Thrane Inmarsat C™, Thrane & Thrane Mini C™,Thrane & Thrane D+™, Iridium™, Orbcomm™, Globalstar™, and MSAT™ (Global Synergies). ASVTS can track most 2nd and 3rd generation Imarsat-C equipment from Trimble, JRC, Sailor, SEA and Litton. Cost and features vary with the type of equipment. See list of equipment providers for further information.
