In an emergency, an AIS rescue transmitter conforming to the latest standards immediately sends a “MOB distress call” using two parallel signals:
- AIS – GPS position data including course and speed to all vessels within range.
- DSC – Distress call with the current GPS position to previously stored vessels (closed loop), then automatically to all vessels and coastal radio stations (open loop).
This means: An AIS rescue transmitter from Weatherdock ensures that your distress is quickly identified, clearly located, and immediately transmitted to all relevant rescue services – for maximum chances of survival at sea.
