1. What is an AIS SART?
AIS SART (Automatic Identification System Search and Rescue Transponder) is a device that transmits distress signals with precise GPS location to aid rescue teams.
2. How does AIS SART differ from traditional radar SART?
Unlike radar SART, AIS SART uses AIS signals to broadcast exact position data, improving accuracy and allowing vessels and rescue centers to track the distress location in real time.
3. When does an AIS SART activate?
It activates automatically when immersed in water or manually by the crew to send distress signals immediately.
4. How long does the AIS SART battery last?
The battery typically lasts for at least 96 hours (4 days) in continuous operation as per SOLAS requirements.
5. Is AIS SART mandatory on all vessels?
AIS SART is mandatory on certain classes of ships under SOLAS regulations as a critical part of the ship’s search and rescue equipment.
6. Can AIS SART be integrated with other ship systems?
Yes, AIS SART data can be integrated with the ship’s AIS system and bridge displays for enhanced situational awareness.
7. Do you provide installation and certification services?
Yes, we offer professional installation, functional testing, and certification compliant with IMO and SOLAS standards.
8. What maintenance is required for AIS SART?
Periodic battery checks, functional tests, and firmware updates are recommended to ensure reliability.
9. Can the AIS SART device be repaired onboard?
Minor repairs and battery replacements can often be handled onboard; for major repairs, vessel attendance at a service center may be required.
