SART - assisting in the rescue and recovery of liferafts and survival craft
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.
