The geographical area and standing orders

  7 Each security force will be associated with a specific geographical polygon(s) which will be activated in the DDP as a standing order.

  8 The Secretariat will advise all SOLAS Contracting Governments operating in the production environment of the LRIT system, each time a security force is created in the DDP. In this respect, an exclusion will be automatically added to all SOLAS Contracting Governments with respect to the security force in question. SOLAS Contracting Governments will then consider deactivating the above exclusion or instructing their LRIT Data Centre (DC) to provide flag State LRIT information, if they so wish, to the specified security force created in the DDP.

  9 Within the special geographical polygon, SOLAS Contracting Governments might identify further critical areas within which they might decide that ships entitled to fly their flag should transmit flag State LRIT information at more frequent than the default 6-hour intervals in order to provide more accurate information to the security forces. In such cases, the SOLAS Contracting Governments concerned should instruct their DCs to transmit flag State LRIT information accordingly. The distribution facility will receive whatever information is sent to it by the flag States through the IDE and, as indicated above, will not be able to initiate or reset any changes in the rate of transmission of flag State LRIT information.
