Please find attached St. Vincent and the Grenadines Administration provisions for testing of the Ship Security Alert System (SSAS).
Among others:
- CSO or an alternate CSO of ships carrying out SSAS testing should notify this Administration no more than 24 hours in advance and no less than 4 hours prior to the test—by sending a pre-test notification via email to security@svg-marad.com.
- The pre-test notification should include the reason of the requirement of testing SSAS (please refer to paragraph 1.1 of the circular)
- SSAS tests involving the Flag may be conducted on the following occasions only:
- Vessel transfer to this Flag
- Periodical Survey for Cargo Ship Safety Radio Certificate
- Third Party Security Verification
- Change of Company
- Upon the CSO’s request (the reason for such a request must be clearly explained in the required pre-test alert notification).
- Upon obtaining agreement from the Flag, the vessel may proceed with the SSAS test. The Flag will confirm receipt of the SSAS test message to the CSO or alternate CSO.
