FIELD TESTS OF THE MOBEPRO DISTRESS BEACON

On June 7, 2024, in Brittany, EFS conducted a field test of our next-generation MOBePRO distress beacon. These tests were carried out under the supervision of the IMP (Maritime Prevention Institute) and in collaboration with the SNSM (French Sea Rescue Society).

This “man overboard” distress beacon triggers an alert on the DSC (Digital Selective Calling) system to notify vessels equipped with DSC receivers, and transmits its position via the AIS (Automatic Identification System).
