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.

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.
