Emergency radio equipment, markers and lights

The global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) requires all ships covered by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) to install one 406 MHz float-free EPIRB, two radar transponders and portable VHFs. Since the establishment of GMDSS, Jotron has become the major supplier of the specified emergency radio equipment necessary to fulfil these mandatory requirements. Jotron’s extensive and flexible range of safety communication equipment includes GMDSS products, AIS Class A transponder, marking lights and a personal strobe light.

About the company

Since it was founded in 1967, Jotron has grown into one of the most respected names in the maritime sector, primarily for safety at sea products. Jotron was, for example, the first company to develop and bring to market an emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB).

The company’s products have consistently been at the cutting edge of safety communication equipment for maritime applications, and Jotron works closely with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and other maritime organisations to develop and regulate innovative new products.
