Feitong FT-9500 AIS-SART (Search and Rescue Transmitter)

Feitong's FT-9500 (Automatic Identification System Search and Rescue Transmitter) is used to assist AIS search and rescue personnel in searching for and locating the location of distressed vessels, life rafts, and rescue boats in the event of a maritime distress.

Its embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) accurately determines the location data of distressed vessels, life rafts, and lifeboats, and transmits them through the automatic identification system search and rescue transmitter, which is very effective for AIS search and rescue personnel to search for distress locations on the surface and in the air. When the device is activated, the FT-9500 will transmit the location data
via the AIS message format.

Usually, each passenger ship or a cargo ship of more than 500 tons is equipped with at least one search and rescue transmitter on each side. The FT-9500 is a portable device that is recommended to be installed in locations that are easily accessible and quickly accessible to personnel.
