McMurdo SARTs (Search and Rescue Locating Devices)


A SART is a ‘search and rescue locating device’ designed to assist in survivor craft location during search and rescue operations.

The SART is primarily intended for fitment by SOLAS vessels under carriage requirement rules. SOLAS fitting rules differ depending on type and size of vessel and survival craft. In general, at least one search and rescue locating device is carried on each side of every passenger and cargo ship over 500 gross tons. Smaller SOLAS classified vessels are required to carry at least one search and rescue locating device.

The SART should be stowed on board in a location where it can be rapidly placed in any survival craft. Once activated, the SART may be suspended inside the survival craft or mounted in an elevated position using the integrated extending pole.

S4 Rescue Radar SART

The S4 Rescue Radar SART is a 9GHz X-band radar transponder which offers proven reliability. Extremely simple to use, the S4 Rescue can be operated even with gloved or wet hands. Its compact design makes it suitable for packing in liferafts or as a carry off device.

When a radar signal is received from a ship or aircraft, the S4 Rescue automatically transmits a response signal, which clearly identifies the survival craft on the radar screen by means of a stream of 12 in-line dots. Once activated, the S4 will remain in standby mode for over 96 hours.

The S4 Rescue has been designed for reliable operation in the toughest of marine environments.
