SSAS Ship Security Alert System Installation and Repair
The Ship Security Alert System (SSAS) is a mandatory part of shipboard security under the SOLAS Convention. It plays a critical role in alerting authorities in case of a security breach. At SEANAV, we specialize in professional SSAS installation and repair services for all types of vessels.
Our expert team ensures that every SSAS system we install meets international maritime standards. Whether you are upgrading an outdated system or installing a new one, we provide a reliable, compliant solution. We use certified equipment from top brands like JRC, FURUNO, and THRANE & THRANE.
Firstly, we assess your vessel’s requirements and choose the best location for the SSAS alert buttons. Then, we perform a complete system configuration and interface setup with the ship’s GMDSS and AIS systems. This guarantees proper functioning when it matters most.
Moreover, our technicians conduct thorough testing post-installation. In addition to setup, we also offer maintenance and troubleshooting support. If your current SSAS system fails, SEANAV offers emergency repair services with minimal downtime.
