McMurdo float-free EPIRB

McMurdo, the provider of the entire MEOSAR infrastructure for New Zealand and Australia, has developed a new generation of G8 float-free EPIRB to achieve the fastest and the most accurate solution for Kiwi mariners. Float-free EPIRBs or Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons are supplied inside an autohousing and automatically deployed when in contact with water (they can also be manually activated).

McMurdo is also offering a combined EPIRB and AIS unit that will maximise the chance for a quick rescue by alerting any AIS receiving vessel in the area as well as the Rescue Coordination Centre in Wellington.
