This exciting NEW EPIRB is The State of The Art!
Of Note: EPIRBs installed on or after July 1, 2022 are required to include AIS location signal for all SOLAS compliant vessels
The McMurdo SmartFind G8 AIS is the world’s first EPIRB to include 406MHz, 121.5MHz, AIS and GPS/GNSS to accelerate search and rescue. The unique power of this beacon is in the flexibility and additional tracking capabilities long demanded by maritime customers.

The SmartFind G8 auto-housing incorporates fixing points which ensure previous McMurdo auto-housing units can be retrofitted with minimum impact, when upgrading your vessels EPIRB.
