Following the Mumbai terror attacks in 2011, the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS)in India banned the use of “Thuraya, Iridium and other such satellite phones” in Indian waters.
At the time of its entry into force, the information was distributed extensively and local agents also bring it to the attention of vessels arriving in Indian ports. However, crew members continue to be penalized by Indian authorities for violating DGS circular 02/2012.

印度禁止使用卫星电话：六年后仍有违规行为
在2011孟买恐怖袭击之后，印度航运总局(DGS)禁止在印度水域使用“欧星舒拉亚 (Thuraya),美国铱星(iridium)及其他类似卫星电话”。
当禁令生效时，消息已经广泛传播，当地代理也提醒到达印度港口的船只注意。然而，船员持续因违反DGS circular 02/2012遭到印度当局处罚。
