SAILOR SSAS Add-on Kit for 6110

SSAS kit for the 6110 Mini-C: a TCU, two alert buttons and a test button on 50 m cables.

The kit adds Ship Security Alert System capability to a SAILOR 6110 Mini-C. It comprises a SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit, two alert buttons each on a 50 metre cable for remote mounting, and one test button on a 50 metre cable, so the vessel can raise a covert alert without any indication on board.

  • SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit as the connection point
  • Two alert buttons plus one test button, each on 50 m of cable
  • Covert alerting: no indication on board, no broadcast to other vessels

Requirement ISPS Code, Ship Security Alert System

Description

The Ship Security Alert System exists for the case where a distress call would make things worse. Under the ISPS Code a vessel must be able to signal that its security has been compromised - piracy, boarding, hijack - to a designated authority ashore, without any indication on board and without alerting anyone nearby. That last point is what separates SSAS from distress alerting: a DSC distress call or an EPIRB tells everybody, including whoever has just boarded.

The kit's own parts list is worth knowing because it explains how the covertness actually works. At its centre is a SAILOR 6194 Terminal Control Unit, which acts as the connection point between the alert buttons and the 6110 Mini-C - and, per Cobham's own description, its functionality can be expanded later while the installation stays compliant. Two alert buttons are supplied, each on a 50 metre cable, which is enough reach to mount them at the bridge and at a second, separate position as the ship security plan requires - long runs matter here, since an alert point has to be reachable discreetly from wherever the crew actually are when something happens. A separate test button, also on a 50 metre cable, lets the system be exercised without triggering a live alert.

Because the destination and content of the alert are administrative as much as technical, commissioning is not finished when the buttons are wired in. It includes agreeing the exact addressing with the company security officer and the flag administration, and testing the whole chain periodically as the ship security plan requires - using the test button rather than the live alert buttons.

Features

  • SAILOR 6194 TCU. The connection point between the alert buttons and the installed 6110 Mini-C, expandable later without losing compliance.
  • Two alert buttons, 50 m cable each. Long enough reach to mount at the bridge and a second position per the ship security plan.
  • Dedicated test button. Exercises the system without triggering a live alert.
  • Covert alerting. No audible or visible indication on board, and no broadcast to other vessels.
  • Uses the installed terminal. Adds the capability to an existing SAILOR 6110 Mini-C rather than requiring a second satellite system.
  • Addressed to the designated authority. Configured with the company security officer and the flag administration.

Applications

Kit contents sourced from Bluesat and Satellite World Store listings for part TT-01-406110A-913, corroborated by Cobham's own 6110 installation manual.

  • SOLAS vessels under the ISPS Code. Where ship security alerting is required.
  • Vessels transiting high-risk areas. Where the covert path is the operationally important one.
  • Retrofits. Adding SSAS to a vessel with a Mini-C already installed.
  • Flag change or audit. Where the existing arrangement has to be brought up to the current requirement.

Support & Documents

PT Vivo Asia Teknologi Indonesia supplies and services radio and GMDSS equipment as part of a compliant installation rather than as a boxed item. Our scope typically covers:

  • Selection against the vessel's or facility's carriage requirements and area of operation.
  • Installation design: antenna siting, feeder runs, power supplies and battery backup.
  • Supply, installation, termination and commissioning.
  • Radio survey support, and coordination with class and flag administration where needed.
  • Programming, channel plans and licence documentation.
  • Annual testing, battery replacement and ongoing maintenance.

Approvals, frequencies and electrical details vary by variant and market and are confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet at quotation stage. Tell us the vessel type or site, the flag and the equipment already installed, and we will come back with the right variant and a full bill of materials.
