The R5 is a fully featured GMDSS survival craft radio with user friendly design and features. It is built to meet the latest stringent IMO, GMDSS and ETSI standards. Reliable and easy to use, it is 100% waterproof and drop tested to cope with the toughest marine environments. The large tactile buttons can easily be operated with gloves without unintended activation of buttons. A ribbed design ensures a solid grip even in wet conditions. A SART is a ‘search and rescue locating device’ designed to assist in survivor craft location during search and rescue operations. The SART is primarily intended for fitment by SOLAS vessels under carriage requirement rules. SOLAS fitting rules differ depending on type and size of vessel and survival craft. In general, at least one search and rescue locating device is carried on each side of every passenger and cargo ship over 500 gross tons. Smaller SOLAS classified vessels are required to carry at least one search and rescue locating device. The SART should be stowed on board in a location where it can be rapidly placed in any survival craft. Once activated, the SART may be suspended inside the survival craft or mounted in an elevated position using the integrated extending pole. The Smartfind S5 AIS SART is a manual deployment survivor location device intended for use on life rafts or survival craft. It meets IMO SOLAS requirements and is an alternative to a Radar SART. Compact, easy to operate and deploy, the Smartfind S5 AIS SART is a portable device packed inside a quick release carry off bag for quick evacuation. Smartfind S5 AIS SART transmits target survivor information including structured alert messages, GPS position information and serialised identity number. Once activated the Smartfind S5 AIS SART transmits continually for a minimum of 96 hours. An inbuilt high precision GPS provides accurate position information to assist in quick recovery of survivors. Whether wall mounted in the ships bridge or packed inside a survival craft, the highly visible and buoyant carry case affords maximum protection. NAVTEX is a system for broadcast and automatic reception of maritime safety and weather information. NAVTEX provides ships with navigational and meteorological warnings and urgent information through either on-screen display or automatic printouts from a dedicated receiver. NAVTEX is a component of the IMO/ IHO Worldwide Navigational Warning Service (WWNWS) defined by IMO. It is also included as an element of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). NAVTEX messages are transmitted worldwide from local stations that provide services targeted at local users and passing ships. Users can set their NAVTEX Receiver to pick up specific message types and reject others. Messages such as navigational and meteorological warnings and search and rescue information are non-rejectable, to ensure that ships are always updated with the most vital information. Users can choose to receive information from the single transmitter that serves the sea area around their position, or from a number of different transmitters. A full listing of all Worldwide NAVTEX services is published in the Admiralty List of Radio Signals Volume 5 and regularly updated through the notice to mariners update service.
