MARTIME PRODUCTS.
Shipping is perhaps the most international of all the
world's industries, serving more than 90 per cent
of global trade. As a consequence there is a need for
international standards to regulate shipping that can
be readily adopted and accepted by everyone. Based
on IMO?s regulations and the SOLAS 1974 convention,
Jotron has been at the forefront when it comes to safety
communication products.
-
Global Maritime Distress & Safety System, known as
GMDSS, was put into force in 1992 by IMO. This meant
that for all ships covered by the SOLAS convention it was
a mandatory requirement to install one 406 MHz float-free
EPIRB, two radar transponders and portable VHF?s. Since
the integration of GMDSS, Jotron has been a major supplier
of the specified emergency radio equipment necessary to
fulfil these requirements.
-
In addition Jotron can provide reliable and professional
communication products for commercial vessels, fishing
vessels and large pleasure crafts as well as high intensity
marker and emergency lights for various marine and personal
applications as diverse as hiking, diving, fish farms and lifeboats.
-
Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB).
In 1970 Jotron developed and installed the world's first
Distress Radio Beacon on board a ship and since this
time tens of thousands of Tron EPIRBs have been installed
onboard a vast array of ships worldwide.
-
In addition Jotron participated in the development and
testing of the Cospas Sarsat satellite system in the 1980's,
culminating in 1989 with the world's first product approval
certificate number 001 of a 406MHz float free EPIRB for
the TRON 30S.
-
Today Jotron are still considered to be a world leading
manufacturer at the forefront of technology of high
quality EPIRBs that conform to current international
regulations to meet the demands of the commercial,
marine, fishing, offshore and leisure industries.
-
Jotron?s subsidiary Companies ensure close
communication with the market and quick and
