Orders of US$1.1 million
SRT, the AIM-quoted provider of maritime domain awareness technologies, is pleased to announce that it has received firm orders with an aggregate value of US$1.1 million for a range of its AIS OEM products. The orders are expected to be processed and shipped during the current financial year ending on 31 March 2015.
Simon Tucker, CEO of SRT, said:
"With the long pending US Coast Guard AIS rule, which will require a large number of commercial boats to install an AIS transceiver, now awaiting final publication, these orders were driven by customers wishing to ensure that they have some stock to meet initial demand. We look forward to this, and other pending mandates, coming into effect."

About Automatic Identification System (AIS)
AIS is an international maritime tracking and monitoring technology developed and maintained by the ITU under the auspices of the IMO and UN. Since the first global mandate by the IMO on all ocean going vessels over 300GT in 2002, AIS has proliferated worldwide to become the technology of choice to enhance maritime domain awareness: vessel tracking, port and coast security, pollution monitoring, fisheries management.
AIS is a sophisticated real time mesh network technology which uses an intelligent combination of VHF and GPS technologies to provide constantly updated data on the identity and movement of vessels and other marine objects. For further information please visit: www.allaboutais.com
