8 Alternative procedures if the communication facilities of the shore-based authority fail

 The system is designed to avoid, as far as possible, any irretrievable breakdown of equipment which would hinder the functioning of the services normally provided by ROCA CONTROL.

 The most important items of equipment and power sources are duplicated and the facilities are provided with emergency generating sets as well as with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units. A maintenance team is available 24 hours a day to attend to any breakdown.

 The system is also designed in such a manner that if one station fails, the adjacent station can provide the necessary coverage.
