Long Range Identification and Tracking — mandatory SOLAS system for vessels on international voyages. NavPoint handles registration, conformance testing and annual renewal.
Mandated under SOLAS Chapter V, Regulation 19-1. Effective 1 January 2008. Administered by IMO through National Data Centers (NDCs) and Application Service Providers (ASPs).
