We would like to bring to your attention recent regulatory updates regarding the installation of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) systems on vessels calling certain ports.

These updates include:

1. Australia: Pilbara ports require Capesize vessels to have CCTV systems installed in the steering gear room (S/G) and bridge, as a minimum. This regulation is already in effect.
2. India: Vessels calling Indian ports are expected to implement CCTV systems in compliance with guidelines from the Directorate General of Shipping by October 2025.

Our Principals Messrs. MARINESAT, are pioneers in providing turnkey CCTV solutions for ocean-going vessels worldwide. They recommend the following camera placements for vessels calling Indian and Australian ports:

• Bridge: 2 cameras
• Cargo Control Room: 1 camera
• Engine Control Room: 1 camera
• Steering Gear Room: 1 camera (covers Australian regulations)
• Aft Side: 2 cameras
• Engine Room: 2 cameras
• Superstructure Wings (Vardiola): 2 cameras
• Bridge Outer Deck: 2 cameras

Each vessel must conduct a comprehensive risk assessment to determine specific vulnerabilities and optimal camera placement, as per the Directorate General of Shipping.
MARINESAT can provide tailor-made CCTV solutions to address identified risks and ensure compliance with safety requirements.
