Safeguarding Oceans: India’s Long Range Identification and Tracking System
Global commerce relies heavily on secure maritime routes. To ensure comprehensive situational awareness, the Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system operates as a satellite-based network tracking international vessels. Mandated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) SOLAS Convention, this framework is critical for monitoring ship positions and maintaining maritime security.

The National LRIT Data Center tracks Indian-flagged vessels globally and monitors all ships within a thousand nautical miles of the coastline. By gathering automated satellite transmissions regarding vessel identity, location, course, and speed, the system provides real-time verification and storage.

This infrastructure is vital for national agencies - including the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, and Directorate General of Shipping, India: by guiding search and rescue operations during high-seas emergencies. Furthermore, reflecting regional cooperation in the Indian Ocean, the national data center actively serves Sri Lanka and Maldives, demonstrating advanced technical capability and maritime leadership.
