Emergency Positioning and Communication Equipment
Reliable emergency positioning and communication equipment is essential for keeping your yacht and crew safe at sea. From EPIRBs and PLBs to AIS SARTs and VHF radios, we supply equipment designed to support you when it matters most
At Antibes Ship, we offer a range of emergency positioning and communication equipment for yachts and their crews. Whether you're preparing for an offshore passage, upgrading your safety equipment, or replacing existing equipment, our team can help you find the right products for your vessel.
EPIRBs
EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) provide an important way of alerting rescue services to a vessel's location in an emergency. We stock a range of EPIRBs, including automatic float-free and manual models to suit different vessel requirements.
We can also supply hydrostatic releases, mounting brackets, and other accessories required for EPIRB installation.
AIS SARTs & Radar Reflectors
AIS SARTs (Automatic Identification System Search and Rescue Transponders) provide additional visibility during an emergency by transmitting a distress signal that can be detected by nearby vessels and rescue services.
We also supply radar SARTs and a range of passive and active radar reflectors, helping improve your vessel's visibility to other ships, particularly in poor visibility or challenging conditions.
PLBs
PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons) are compact emergency devices designed to be carried by individual crew members. They provide a personal means of alerting rescue services to a person's location and can be particularly useful for crew working on deck or operating away from the vessel.
We stock a range of PLBs from trusted manufacturers and can help you choose a model to complement your yacht's wider safety equipment.
VHF Radios & Communication
Reliable communication is an essential part of any yacht's safety equipment. We stock fixed-mount and handheld VHF radios, including models with DSC (Digital Selective Calling), as well as waterproof handheld VHFs for additional flexibility onboard.
Whether you're equipping a new yacht, replacing existing equipment, or preparing for your next passage, our team can help you source the right VHF radio and communication equipment for your yacht.
Make sure your yacht has the right equipment to communicate and be located in an emergency. Get expert advice on the right emergency positioning and communication equipment for your vessel.
