11 Cost of the LRIT information provided to SAR services
11.1 Regulation V/19-1.12 provides that SAR services shall be entitled to receive, free of any charges, LRIT information in relation to the search and rescue of persons in distress at sea. In addition, when an uncertainty or alert phase might need to be declared or has been declared, LRIT information will also be provided free of any charges.
11.2 SAR services should note that the provision of LRIT information to them entails expenditures and costs for the LRIT Data Centres and the International LRIT Data Exchange which need to be paid by the other LRIT Data Users as an overhead on the charges they have to pay for the provision of LRIT information to them.
11.3 SAR services are strongly urged, notwithstanding the purpose for which they might be requesting the provision of LRIT information, to exercise the right to request LRIT information with due care and to avoid excessive requests.
