Polling the current location of a specific ship

  10 Security forces wishing to poll the current position of a specific ship that may be approaching an area of high risk of attack should indicate the IMO ship identification number and the LRIT ID of the Administration whose flag the ship is flying (the Data User Provider).

  11 Polling position request messages will be transmitted by the distribution facility to the LRIT Data Centre associated with the Administration of the ship, through the IDE, only if the SOLAS Contracting Government concerned has authorized the security force in question to poll the current position of their own flag ships.

  12 The provision of flag State LRIT information in response to a polling request message received from a security force is completely voluntary. SOLAS Contracting Governments have the right to decide, at any moment, and instruct their LRIT Data Centres whether polling request messages transmitted by security forces should be processed and responded.
