Flags appointing Pole Star as their Data Centre provider will be supported by a professional and committed Authorised Service Provider (ASP) dedicated to the provision of the most sophisticated and technically advanced schedule of LRIT services. Pole Star personnel attend all IMO Maritime Safety Committee meetings and LRIT working groups and are well placed to monitor and implement any amendments relating to LRIT regulation.
