The LRIT regulation will apply to the following ship types engaged on international voyages:

 All passenger ships
Cargo ships,
Mobile offshore drilling units.

These ships must report their position to their flag administration at least four times a day.

 Most vessels set their existing satellite communications systems to automatically make these reports. Other contracting governments may request information about vessels in which they have a legitimate interest under the regulation.
