Protect your offshore crew
with reliable maritime safety technology.
WHY ATEX MATTERS OFFSHORE
Working on offshore platforms, oil & gas installations or wind farms exposes crews to potentially explosive atmospheres and harsh weather. Strong winds, heavy seas and unpredictable conditions increase the risk of emergencies — and when they occur, every minute counts.
Our ATEX‑certified AIS SART transmitters are designed to operate safely in explosive zones and provide immediate, accurate distress signalling to nearby vessels and coastal stations, ensuring the fastest possible rescue.
ATEX‑Certified AIS SART: Precision Meets Safety
Our AIS SART devices automatically transmit the exact GPS position of a person in distress via AIS, allowing nearby vessels to react instantly. Designed for offshore professionals, they withstand extreme conditions and comply with strict ATEX requirements for explosive environments.
Key Benefits
- ATEX‑certified for safe use in explosive atmospheres
- Accurate GPS tracking for fast localisation
- Automatic or manual activation
- Reliable AIS transmission to vessels & receiving stations
- Robust construction for harsh offshore conditions
Offshore Operations Require Specialized Safety Equipment
DESIGNED FOR CRITICAL OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS
Whether working on oil platforms, offshore wind turbines or industrial vessels, our ATEX‑compliant devices meet the unique demands of high‑risk environments. They offer reliable emergency communication where it matters most and maintain full compliance with international requirements such as SOLAS and IMO.
Typical offshore safety challenges include:
-
Man-overboard incidents during crew transfers
-
Limited visibility during night operations or bad weather
-
Large working areas around offshore installations
-
Difficult communication between vessels and platforms
-
Remote locations with limited rescue infrastructure
Using advanced offshore safety equipment helps operators reduce risks and ensures that crew members can be located quickly during emergencies.
AIS Technology for Offshore Worker Safety
FAST LOCATING AND RESCUE WITH AIS TECHNOLOGY
Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology is widely used in maritime navigation. When integrated into safety equipment, AIS provides a powerful tool for emergency location and crew monitoring.
AIS-based safety devices transmit the precise GPS position of a person in distress directly to nearby vessels and AIS receivers. This enables fast detection and significantly improves the chances of successful rescue.
Key benefits of AIS safety technology include:
-
Instant distress alerts in man-overboard situations
-
Real-time GPS position transmission
-
Automatic detection by nearby vessels and rescue teams
-
Reliable operation without additional communication infrastructure
-
Compatibility with standard maritime navigation systems
For offshore operators, AIS safety systems provide an effective and proven way to enhance crew protection.

ATEX Rescue Transmitter Offshore Safety:
Professional personal safety equipment for the highest demands
Working on the high seas, especially on offshore platforms, oil and gas installations, or wind farms, places special demands on crew and equipment. Strong winds, high waves, and unpredictable weather conditions can trigger emergencies – and in a critical situation, every minute counts. Therefore, professional personal safety equipment is essential.
ATEX-certified AIS SART rescue transmitters: Precision and rapid rescue
The heart of offshore safety is the AIS SART (Search and Rescue Transponder). In an emergency, it automatically transmits the vessel’s exact position via AIS to ships and receiving stations. This allows rescue teams to react quickly – a crucial factor for survival on the high seas.
Our various ATEX-certified and ATEX-compliant devices are designed for diverse offshore requirements and can be safely used in potentially explosive atmospheres. They meet the requirements of oil and gas platforms and other areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
Combination with automatic life jackets
Modern offshore safety concepts rely on integrated solutions. AIS SART transmitters can be combined with automatic life jackets. In an emergency, the transmitter is activated immediately, the life jacket inflates, and the wearer becomes visible and protected.
Advantages:
- Rapid rescue thanks to precise positioning via AIS
- Convenient and safe integration into offshore operations
- Visibility even in extreme offshore conditions
ATEX-certified safety: mandatory for offshore platforms
For offshore platforms, especially in the oil and gas sector, ATEX certification is crucial. It confirms that devices such as AIS SART transmitters are explosion-proof and approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Our ATEX-compliant versions meet these stringent regulations and offer maximum safety for your crew.
Offshore safety: Lifesaving standards
Professional personal safety equipment is not a luxury, but a necessity. With ATEX-certified AIS SART transmitters and automatic life jackets, companies not only ensure compliance with international safety standards (SOLAS, IMO), but above all protect what is most valuable: the lives of their crew.
CONCLUSION: With AIS SART rescue transmitters – in ATEX-certified versions – and compatible automatic life jackets, you create a reliable, standards-compliant safety concept for offshore operations and protect your crew at the crucial moment.
