The Furuno IC-307 SSAS (Ship Security Alert System) Alert Button is a SOLAS-compliant emergency security device designed to discreetly transmit a security alert when a vessel is threatened by piracy, terrorism, or unauthorized boarding. Installed in concealed locations onboard, the IC-307 enables crew members to silently activate a distress alert without triggering any audible or visual alarms, helping maintain crew safety during security incidents.

When activated, the IC-307 works with compatible Furuno FELCOM Inmarsat-C terminals (including FELCOM 15, 16, 18, and 19) to automatically send a Ship Security Alert (SSAS) containing the vessel’s identity, position, time, and other essential information to pre-programmed shore-based security contacts. The alert is transmitted approximately 30 seconds after activation and can continue at preset intervals until it is cancelled by authorized personnel.
