Search and Rescue Transponders (SART) are vital for locating distressed vessels. Service includes testing the device’s functionality, checking battery levels, and verifying signal transmission. SARTs are activated during distress situations to emit a radar signal, aiding rescuers in locating the vessel quickly. Regular maintenance ensures the device is always in working condition, reducing the chances of failure during an emergency. Servicing SARTs is essential for meeting SOLAS safety standards and ensuring that rescue operations can be carried out efficiently, improving the vessel’s safety and emergency preparedness.
