The Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system, which provides for the global identification and tracking of ships, consists of the shipborne LRIT information transmitting equipment, the Communication Service Provider(s) (CSPs), the Application Service Provider(s) (ASPs), the LRIT Data Centre(s) (DCs), including any related Vessel Monitoring System(s) (VMSs), the LRIT Data Distribution Plan (DDP), and the International LRIT Data Exchange (IDE). For the LRIT system to operate efficiently, all components of the LRIT system need to work seamlessly together to ensure the end-to-end transmission of messages between DCs requesting and providing LRIT information.
