Section Title: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND AUTHORITY Issue No: B – Dec 03

3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITY
3.1 Executive Summary

The Transas ship security alert system (SSAS) – Ship Guard – has been designed to
comply with all relevant legislation and provide a means whereby a vessel can raise a
discrete alarm to the required shore authorities when its security has either been
compromised or is thought to be under threat.
3.2 Regulatory Authority
On board security alert systems are governed by various internationally agreed rules and
regulations as promulgated by the International Maritime Organisation – IMO, as
recommended by its’ associated sub-committees, principally the Maritime Safety Committee
(MSC).
Principal rules governing SSAS
International Port and Ship Security (ISPS) Code.

SOLAS XI-2 Regulation 6 – as amended – see Appendix III.
MSC – Resolution 136/76 – Performance standards.
MSC – Resolution 147/77 – Annex 7 – Performance standards – see Appendix V.
MSC Circular 1072 – see Appendix IV.

Section Title: SYSTEM OVERVIEW Issue No: B – Dec 03

4. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
4.1 System Description

The system offered consists of an independent Inmarsat D+ terminal and associated
equipment. It is a self-contained unit that carries its own integral back up battery power
supply and GPS system and therefore requires no interfacing with ships equipment (other
than power supply) to operate in full compliance with SOLAS requirements. Each system
comprises a number of individual modules fully integrated to provide a seamless link
between the vessel and shore-side authorities.
4.2 Tracking and Alert Messages

In addition to satisfying the SOLAS security alert
requirements, the terminal is capable of data position
report transmission for day-to-day tracking purposes that
can be monitored on the service providers web tracking
site www.fleetviewonline.com, while at the same time it
will respond instantly to the activation of any one of the
SECURITY ALERT buttons located within the vessel.
4.3 Vessel Equipment

On board equipment supplied consists of:
Inmarsat D+ terminal with integral GPS system and back up battery

Inmarsat D+/GPS antenna
Antenna mounting box
Antenna cabling
Function control/junction box
Terminal to control/junction box connector
Security alert buttons (2)
Security alert button cabling
The above is supplied in kit form with associated items to aid system disguise, the aim being
to provide a modular kit that will enable the ship operator to easily fit and commission an
operating system with the minimum of disruption to the vessel and a low crew training
requirement.
See Appendix I for scope of equipment supply and optional equipment.
4.4 Terminal Function

The Inmarsat D+ terminal is a self-contained unit with an integral back-up battery that is
supplied pre-programmed. It has an internal GPS and apart from a principal power supply
requires no interfacing with any other ships equipment. The antenna cable connects directly
to the Inmarsat D+ terminal.
In addition to providing an alert transmission capability, the terminal also enables automatic
sending of scheduled data position reports (DPR). Thus offering a day-to-day commercial
6 of 43

ship tracking benefit to the ship operator in addition to compliance with regulatory
requirements.
The default supply setting of the terminal is alert and tracking functions enabled, with the
DPR set to a six hourly schedule (4 DPR per day).
When used for tracking, ship positions are updated every six hours without any user
intervention and can be viewed on the Transas Telematics web tracking service
FLEETVIEWONLINE – http://ssas.fleetviewonline.com, with your provided user access
details.
Security alert and other functions are also viewed via the same Internet FleetView user
interface.
The issue of user login and password ensures that only vessels from the registered
company can be viewed. It is not possible for other companies to view ships that are not
registered to them.
Control of login and password is with the registered user and can be changed at any time.
4.5 Control and Junction Box Function
The control and junction box serves two purposes as its name suggests, namely to:
Provide user interface for system control and,

Provide connectivity to the terminal, Security Alert buttons and power supply
4.5.1 System Control
System control is managed via a three position key control, the key can be removed for
security purposes and be under the control of the Master. The function of each position is as
follows:
Position 1 Off, physically disconnects the Security Alert buttons from terminal. Power
supply to the terminal is maintained to keep back-up battery fully charged.
(Likely only to be used in dry-dock or lay-up periods.)
Position 2 Test modes, alert messages sent only to ship operator. Can be used for
system commissioning and as part of schedule of drills.
Position 3 Operational, will generate security alert to both ship operator and flag state.
4.5.2 Connectivity
Connectivity to the various system elements is made via the control and junction box, which
connects to:
The INMARSAT D+ terminal via a standard 25-way D connector;

The system power supply;
Security alert buttons.
4.5.3 Security Alert Button
Two security alert buttons are provided per installation, each consisting of a mechanically
latching security alert button with flip cover. In addition to protecting against accidental
7 of 43

operation the flip cover can be locked to prevent malicious or accidental tampering during
dry-dock or lay-up periods. But should not be locked during normal operation of the vessel.
4.6 Shore Equipment

Being a web-based system, other than an Internet connection within the ship operators’
offices, no other specialist equipment or software is required.
Under normal circumstances users will be logged onto FleetView in order to monitor their
vessels on a day-to-day basis.
4.6.1 Vessel Initiates an Alert
In the event of a vessel generating an alert, a number of actions are automatically initiated:
Tracking interval automatically changes from every six hours to every thirty minutes;
On FleetView Online, the white background place holder displaying the vessel name
changes to red;
A fixed message email is sent to the ship operator indicating a received alert;
A fixed text message is sent to the ship operator using an emergency GSM
mobile/cellular) telephone indicating a received alert;
The alert is notified to the flag state of the vessel or their authorised body.
4.6.2 Actions Upon Receiving an Alert
In the event of receiving an alert, a plan of action, as detailed in the ship operators’ security
plan, will be implemented. This plan will have been inspected and approved by the relevant
Recognised Security Organisation (RSO).
Although not specific to or within the scope of the SSAS service in general, it can be
expected that the flag state of the vessel and ship operator will enter into dialogue to discuss
the alert.
In addition, if the vessel is in waters adjacent to a coastal state of a country different to that
it’s flag, the flag state of the vessel sending the alert is obliged to notify the administration of
the adjacent coastal state.

Section Title: SYSTEM INSTALLATION Issue No: B – Dec 03

5. SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Transas Ship Guard is a simple modular system that can either be installed by a Transas
trained engineer or by suitably qualified member of the ships’ crew. Full guidance on
physical installation and wiring is included in this chapter.
Transas engineers or ships’ crew can also conduct system commissioning; full details of this
are also included in system commissioning section.
5.1 Ship Guard Kit
Before starting any installation work check contents against detailed order/packing list – any
discrepancies must be reported immediately.
For convenience installation instructions are broken down into module sections.
It is expected that a site survey will have been conducted prior to ordering the system, in
order to supply the correct kit version and ensure adequate cabling has been supplied to the
vessel. Your kit will consist:
ABS plastic antenna concealment enclosure containing antenna with 100mm cable
and SMA connector attached
Antenna cable – 10/20 metres
Inmarsat D+ terminal and back-up battery pack
ABS control/junction box enclosure, wired connector and fittings
Security Alert button enclosures and fittings
Security Alert button cabling
Instruction and operation manual
Optional items available

Antenna mounting bracket
Power supply unit
In addition to above the vessel will be required to supply fastenings to secure the various
enclosures and terminal. Fastenings will also be required for antenna cable and Security
Alert button cabling.
If in doubt ships’ crew carrying out installation should seek guidance from their technical
managers with respect to fastenings and cable routing to ensure compliance with any Flag
State or Classification Society requirements. Transas cannot be held liable for such errors or
omissions.
5.1.1 Antenna Cable
Depending upon customer requirements this is delivered pre-assembled in either 10m or
25m lengths with SMA connectors attached. Each cable is tested prior to shipment.
Prior to securing the antenna cable to either the terminal or antenna it is recommended that
the antenna cable be passed through the deck penetration arrangement, (W/T gland, goose-
neck etc) and laid loosely in position.
Any additional deck penetrations/glands or associated welding work required to pass the
antenna cable is the responsibility of the vessel.
9 of 43

Under no circumstances should the antenna cable be cut or end fittings re-attached, as this
will void the supplied antenna test certificate. Once the installation is completed the cable
can be secured, with any spare cable being coiled and fastened.
5.1.1.1 Minimum Bend Radius
10m antenna cable– LMR 240 grade cable = 19.1mm
25m antenna cable – LMR 400 grade cable = 25.4mm
Additional cable data and information can be found in the antenna cable data sheet included
in this manual.
Cross reference section 5.1.5 Inmarsat D+ terminal
In order to prevent damage to the terminal antenna fitting it is essential to securely fasten
the terminal end of the antenna cable BEFORE installing the terminal. It is recommended
that three clamps be used to fasten the cable and are arranged to ensure that the antenna
cable places no strain on the terminal antenna connection fitting. Failure to do so may result
in the terminal antenna connection being damaged. This may invalidate any warranties.
5.1.2 Antenna
The antenna is supplied with a 100mm cable tail for
connection to the main antenna cable; the tail terminates with
an SMA connector.
To aid disguise, an ABS plastic enclosure is supplied in

which the actual antenna is mounted. The antenna is
attached to a raised base plate that permits space below for
making the connection between the antenna cable tail and
the main antenna cable.
The antenna must be situated where it has a clear view of the sky. It needs to be sited at
least 1.5m from any other radiating device (VHF aerials, other satellite antenna, etc.) and
kept clear of structures that may cause shadow or blind sectors.
Trail installations indicated that the upper bridge (monkey island, flying bridge) is an
acceptable choice for positioning the antenna and that it is not necessary to mount the
antenna high up on mast structures. This serves to reduce the length of antenna cable
required minimising RF losses and speeding the installation process.
Transas offer an optional mounting bracket that can be clamped to railings on the upper
bridge with a flat plate to which the antenna concealment box can be secured.
The antenna must be installed in the horizontal plane.

CAUTION – The antenna housing and the concealment box should not be painted with any
paints containing metallic elements. This will screen the antenna and prevent signal
reception/transmission and render the system inoperative.
10 of 43

5.1.3 Installation
The antenna is shipped inside the ABS plastic enclosure and is secured using the
two anti-vibration packing pieces. The assembly will need to
be opened up for installation. DO NOT remove the watertight
gland from the enclosure
Pass main antenna cable through watertight gland assembly
– do not secure
Attach short antenna cable to main antenna cable and secure
Tighten gland nut to compress rubber seal onto antenna
cable. Seal with silicone.
With the antenna connection joint positioned below the base plate, secure the base
plate into the enclosure using the mounting legs provided. Ensure the edge of base
plate with foam packing piece over edge of base plate is
farthest away from watertight gland
Fit antenna into enclosure.
Ensure that foam packing piece covers edge of base plate to
prevent chaffe on the edge of the base plate
Mount antenna enclosure box according to plan
Ensuring top packing piece is still secured to underside of
enclosure cover, screw down enclosure cover taking care not
to over tighten, fit screw cover plugs.
Complete securing of antenna cable and make good deck penetration as appropriate
5.1.4 Security Alert Button Cabling
The Security alert button cabling is now installed using the supplied cable (twisted pair with
foil and braided screening) plus earth. Consideration must be given to possible interference
and electrical noise when selecting the cable run.
For security reasons, the cable should be hidden
from normal view as far as is practicable.
Allow adequate spare at each end of cable to strip

back and make connections. The earth wire must be
connected to the base plate in the control/junction
box.
Final cable fastening must be to a standard that is

acceptable to Flag State or Classification Society.
5.1.5 Terminal
Cross reference section 5.1.1 Antenna cable installation
6.1.6 LED diagnostic table
The terminal comes fully pre-programmed and equipped with its own back-up battery. It is
certified to IEC 945 (BSEN 60945) and carries the CE approval mark. It is suitable for below
decks installation.
It has its own onboard GPS and receives power via the integral 25-way D connector.
When choosing a site for the terminal consideration must be given to concealment,
ventilation and an allowance for adequate space to install the nearby control box.
11 of 43

To enable periodic checks on correct operation, the terminal should be sighted where
responsible ships crew can view the sequence of the flashing LED indicator situated on the
terminal front. However the terminal should not be positioned where a casual observer could
readily see the flashing LED indicator.
Slacken antenna cable clamps and slide back cable a few centimetres.
Offer terminal up to pre-planned installation position and secure. Slide antenna cable end to
terminal and make connection, secure antenna and antenna clamps.
5.1.6 Power Supply
The security alert system requires a 24vDC supply; this must be provided to site of the
control/junction box prior to installation. The 24vDC power supply is to be of an
uninterruptible type and capable of supporting an instantaneous peak load of 3Amps
Note that cabling for running the power to the control/junction box is for owners supply and is
not included as standard.
5.1.7 Control/Junction Box
The control/junction box is supplied fully wired with the exception of the two alert cables and
power supply. All cable glands etc are pre
drilled and attached. Prior to installing the
control/junction box it is recommended that
all cable ends are passed through their
respective glands and connection made
good in accordance with wiring diagram
and gland nuts nipped up. It is
recommended that electrical continuity of
power supply and security alert button
cabling is checked prior to final fixing.
It is essential that all components be

bonded using the control/junction box base
plate as a common ground. It is equally
important that the base plate is itself earthed, this can be achieved through the power supply
cable or other equivalent means.
Where an alert cable run in excess of 30m is required the control/junction box will also be
supplied with a booster battery to power alert switches (optional supply from Transas).
The control/junction box must be sited to ensure access to the key control and that there is
adequate cable to attach the 25-way D connector to the Inmarsat D+ terminal. The standard
supply length of this cable is 1m. Control/junction box to terminal connection cable is
available in optional lengths of 5m and 10m. This must be specified prior at time of order, but
in any event all cable must be fastened securely.
When alert cables and power supply cable have been connected and all connections double
checked mount control/junction box and secure enclosure.
5.1.8 Security alert button installation
12 of 43

The standard supply is two complete security alert button assemblies;

additional security alert buttons may be installed and must be specified
at time of ordering.
There is a mandatory SOLAS requirement that one of security alert

buttons provided is mounted in the wheelhouse area. The location of
the second security alert button is to owners’ choice.
Referring to planned position of security alert buttons, knock out appropriate entry
disc in alert box enclosure to accept cable gland, attach cable gland accordingly.
Pass free end of previously installed alert cable through gland and make connection
to pre-assembled security alert button contact block.
Having double checked connections and continuity with control/junction box close up
enclosure and nip up cable gland.
A flip cover to prevent inadvertent activation of security alert button is provided; again
this is a mandatory SOLAS requirement and must not be removed.
5.1.9 Operation
Installation is now complete and when satisfied with all connections and fastenings the
system can be powered up.
After powering up the system for the first

time (this is known as a cold start), allow
45 minutes to ensure GPS and Inmarsat
satellite acquisition.
There is no intervention required when the

terminal moves from one ocean region to
another, as region swap is fully automatic.
The system is now ready to commission.
NB On completion of installation, please

attach supplied anti-tamper labels:
2 x across
the join of
each of the security alert buttons; 2 x across the join of the
control box. Remaining labels should be kept in the
Master’s safe with the key

Section Title: SYSTEM COMMISSIONING Issue No: B – Dec 03

6. SYSTEM COMMISSIONING
6.1 General
The Inmarsat D+ terminal in the Ship Guard kit is supplied as a pre-programmed unit and
requires no user intervention to be fully operational. The terminal will normally be supplied
supporting alert service and tracking (4 transmissions per day). Any variance from this must
be specified at time of ordering.
A service engineer will be required to attend the vessel if alteration to programming is

required.
6.1.1 Terminal registration
The terminal is supplied pre-registered and upon being powered up is capable of being
tracked and delivering alerts to the shore user interface FleetView Online.
6.1.2 Commissioning procedure
For convenience the bridge security alert button is called the primary alert button, the other
button(s) are called secondary alert buttons
Cross-reference 4.6.1 vessel initiates alert – What happens when the security alert
button is pressed?
To test/commissions system always select TEST MODE, this will prevent an alert message
being sent to Flag Administration, but will none the less test the whole system fully from end
to end as if it were in operational mode. (Technical note - messages sent in Test mode
differs from those in Operational mode by one bit - this allows them to be filtered and only
sent to the company).
Locally record all times, dates and GPS positions when operating security alert buttons.
Allow up to 45 minutes to acquire both GPS and Inmarsat satellite lock – four
flashing greens on terminal LED indicate correct function
Ensure key in TEST position
Activate primary alert button and leave depressed for 40 minutes
Release primary alert and wait 10 minutes
Activate secondary alert button, wait 10 minutes and then also activate primary alert
button – leave both buttons depressed for 40 minutes
Release both buttons (order of release is not important)
Wait 10 minutes press primary alert button wait further 5 minutes, and then interrupt
24vDC supply – the system is now using the integral back-up battery. The system will
continue to operate normally (flashing green LED) until it makes power supply
interrupt transmission (orange LED). After making transmission the terminal will
automatically go into sleep mode and LED will stop functioning. Wait 30 minutes for
terminal to “wake up” and make transmission. After transmission (orange LED)
reconnect 24vDC supply, the terminal will now go through a full power-up sequence
and within a few minutes will be indicating four greens on the LED.
Testing/commissioning is now complete
It is recommended that a regular test routine be initiated into company routines to monitor
correct function of this equipment.
14 of 43

Your Ship Security Alert System is now set up and in the event of activation will deliver an
alert message to the required authorities.
6.1.3 Power failure
In the event of a physical interruption of power supply to control/junction box the ship
security alert system automatically defaults to the integral back-up battery housed in the
terminal.
Under normal conditions the back-up battery is kept trickle charged by the main 24vDC
power supply. In this mode, to conserve battery life the system “goes to sleep” between
transmissions and therefore the LED does not operate. Battery life in this mode is at least 60
hours.
When the main 24vDC supply is interrupted, in accordance with statutory requirements, an
advisory message is sent in a similar manner to that of the alert message.
6.1.4 Drills and tests
According to your company requirements it is possible to test the alert system without
alerting the Flag State of the vessel.
YOU MUST SET THE KEY CONTROL TO TEST POSITION TO DO THIS. FAILURE TO DO
SO WILL SEND AN ALERT MESSAGE TO FLAG STATE AS A GENUINE ALERT.
6.1.5 System diagnostics
Using the in built system diagnostic it is possible monitor the status of your INMARSAT D+
terminal. The visual indicator to conduct this check is an LED situated between the antenna
connector and 25-way D connector. The LED operates on a 4-blink cycle and can be used
for self-check during commissioning and could be included as part of the bridge watch
routines during normal operation.
6.1.6 LED diagnostic table

Normally, from power on, the indicator will go from flashing red (INMARSAT D+ OFF)
through to flashing green as the terminal first acquires the Bulletin Board and subsequently
the Traffic Channel. From power on to demodulating the Traffic Channel may take up to 7
minutes.
NOTE: The indicator can be disabled (off state) or enabled via script control. The indicator
may therefore not come on when power is applied. Contact Transas for details of any script
that may have been programmed into the terminal.

Section Title: SAT-101 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Issue No: B – Dec 03

11. SAT-101 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SAT-101 is compact, low data rate, satellite terminal designed to operate over the
INMARSAT satellites using the INMARSAT D+ protocol. With an integral GPS receiver, the
SAT-101 provides low cost satellite communications for applications such as asset tracking,
telematics and SCADA.
Four INMARSAT satellites provide Global Coverage with each satellite covering an ‘Ocean
Region’ (IOR, AOR-E, AOR-W or POR).
On power on or ‘waking up’, a terminal first tunes to the Bulletin Board channel, which
contains information on the traffic channels currently in use. From the traffic channel /
service ID mapping posted on the Bulletin Board, the terminal determines on which traffic
channel to expect its messages, and re-tunes to this channel.
Data rate for the forward channel (to terminal) is approximately 9 user bits per second, with
typical message delivery latency of about 3 minutes.
Return channel (from terminal) information is returned in bursts containing up to 80 user bits
of information. The data rate is approximately 10 user bits per second, with typical message
delivery latency of about 30s (assuming the terminal has already synchronised to the traffic
channel).
The SAT-101 consists of three modules, namely:
Antenna
Main module
Battery pack
The terminal is designed such that the battery pack can be optionally attached to the main
module.
11.1 Main Module

Figure 1 shows the main module with battery pack attached.
Figure 1 - INMARSAT D+ Terminal: Main Module and Battery Pack

Section Title: SAT-101 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Issue No: B – Dec 03

11.2 Battery Pack

The battery pack is a sealed unit containing 10 AA cell batteries. Two options are offered – a
2.9Ah non-rechargeable pack using Lithium batteries or a 1.2Ah rechargeable pack using
NiMH batteries. Electrical connection with the main module is via contacts on the battery
pack mating with spring loaded probes on the main module. The main module connections
remain sealed on removal of the battery pack.
Figure 2 - INMARSAT D+ Terminal: Main Module with separated Battery Pack
The battery packs are fitted to the main module by means of two M3 screws. When
mounting the complete unit, M4 mounting bolts are used which pass through clearance
holes in the battery pack and main module.
11.3 Antenna
A single antenna is used for GPS receive, INMARSAT D+ receive and INMARSAT D+
transmit.
Cable length: 10 or 25 m
Mounting: 4 x M4 bolts
Connector: SMA
Cable entry is from the side of the base moulding. Moulded placeholders on the base allow
provision for magnets to be bonded for applications where a magnetic mount is required.

Section Title: BATTERY INFORMATION Issue No: B – Dec 03

13. BATTERY INFORMATION
13.1 Battery Life
In general, each 1Ah capacity provides approximately:
100 transmissions – for applications where the SAT-101 enters SLEEP mode
between transmissions.
5.5 hours operation – for applications where the SAT-101 is in continuous RECEIVE
(INMARSAT D+ and GPS), transmitting no more than once every 10 minutes.
30 to 40 hours operation – for applications where the SAT-101 is receiving GPS only
(e.g. periodically checking a geofence)
400 GPS position checks (e.g. against a geofence) - for applications that place the
SAT-101 into SLEEP mode between checks.
For example, taking case 1 above, using the 2.9Ah battery pack will provide approximately
290 transmissions.
13.2 Battery Charging from Main DC input
28 of 43
Section Title: SHORE INFORMATION Issue No: B – Dec 03

14. SHORE INFORMATION
14.1 Understanding Email Alerts
Under normal circumstances an email alert message will be delivered to the nominated
email address (es). Ship operators also have the option of having alerts delivered to a
mobile (cell) telephone as an SMS text message.
The email message will consist of the following content: -
• Name of vessel
• Call sign
• MMSI no.
• IMO no.
• Speed of vessel
• Course of vessel
• Date and time
• Latitude
• Longitude
• Status message
All are self explanatory with the exception of the status message, which consists of two
groups of four digits, either a 0 or 1. The status message has been designed to display in
this format in order to ensure that maximum amount of information can be accurately and
reliably transferred from the email alert to the SMS text message of the users mobile phone.
14.2 Status Messages
The first group of four digits tell the user the nature of the message, e.g. primary alert test
message, while the second group report exceptions such as a power failure. Currently only
the first digit of the second group of four digits is in use. Each digit is independent of the
others
14.2.1 First Group
First digit: 0= no change in status, or scheduled (timed) transmission

1= change in status
Second digit: 0= primary alert off (by convention primary is bridge)

1= primary alert activated
Third digit: 0= secondary alert off (by convention secondary is other location)
1= secondary alert on
Fourth digit: 0= key control in operational mode

1= key control in test mode
14.2.2 Second Group
29 of 43

First digit: 0= no exception reported

1= principal power failure (24vDC)
Second, third and fourth digits are reserved for future development. Example message
Alert From: M/V Ship Guard CallSign: ABC123 MMSI: 123456789 IMO: 987654321
Spd: 22.6kn Course:078
036 1.28'N, 005 7.09'W
06.11.2003 12:24
Status: 1010 0000
This means that there has been a change of status, in that the secondary alert button has
been activated in operational mode.
If nothing changes, thirty minutes later (12:54) the status message would be 0010 0000,
signifying that there had been no change of status, ie no buttons have been pressed or
depressed and that the message is a timed (alert messages are automatically transmitted
every 30 minutes) rather than requested message report, and that the secondary button is
still activated.
If ten minutes later the primary alert button were to be pressed a report would be generated
timed at 13:04 reading Status: 1110 0000. The first digit is now 1; this shows that there has
been a change of status. The second digit is now 1, telling us that the primary alert button
has been operated along with the secondary alert button that was already in operation and
that the system is still in operational mode.
The system has been carefully designed so that no one message is dependant on the
previous message, and in the very unlikely event of a message being lost, it will still be
possible to ascertain what is happening on the vessel and build a picture of events.
The above data is replicated in text form to the nominated mobile telephone of the ship
operator.

14.3.3 Message log
The message log is automatically populated whenever an alert message or position request
(polling) is made/received. It is presented in a very useful tabular form and contains addition
information to that of the email/SMS text messages.
The message log is accessed from the main Ship Guard web page and you have to be
logged in to access this sub-page.
