The International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO) has completed its 1,000th Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) audit, marking a major milestone in its oversight of the global LRIT system.

IMSO said the achievement reflects more than 17 years of work to support the reliability, security and effective operation of the LRIT system worldwide.

The milestone was delivered through the dedicated efforts of IMSO’s LRIT audit team, Mr Halil Keskin and Mr Pier-Giovanni Taranti, whose expertise and commitment have helped maintain high standards of compliance across the international LRIT community.

The organization said the completion of the 1,000th audit underscores its continuing role in strengthening maritime safety and security through independent oversight of the LRIT system.

The milestone highlights the importance of independent auditing in maintaining the reliability and effective operation of a global system used to support maritime safety and security.
