Other countries use the already available shipping register to obtain the neces-
sary information for a vessel in distress, in these countries the ship is already
registered and no registration form is necessary, however it is vital that the
coding of the Tron 40GPS is kept up to date with datas on the ship (nationality,
call sign, etc.), to minimise the time from an alarm to the start of the search and
rescue operation. Reprogramming the Tron 40GPS can be done at authorised
JOTRON agents in more than 180 different places throughout the world.
