Most existing Inmarsat C terminals, including the entire Thrane & Thrane mini-C range, are capable of providing the required LRIT information although a certain percentage will not be suitable unless updates are applied. It is possible that a specific configuration or minor installation problems can affect a terminal's ability to transmit the LRIT signals, or even be updated to transmit the signal. So considering the high penalties for LRIT non-compliance, which could be tens of thousands of dollars per day in some cases, it is vital for vessel's to start preparing for the 31st December 2008 LRIT deadline immediately.
