The Samyung SAR-16 is an AIS SART (Automatic Identification System Search and Rescue Transponder) device designed to assist search and rescue operations during emergencies at sea. The device automatically transmits an emergency signal, making it easier for ships and rescue parties in the surrounding area to identify the position of the casualty or life raft.
In maritime operations, safety is an aspect that cannot be overlooked. When a vessel experiences an emergency—such as a fire, flooding, extreme weather, or evacuation to a life raft—the AIS SART becomes one of the essential pieces of equipment to accelerate the SAR response. The Samyung SAR-16 features a practical design, high durability, and a long operating time to support maritime safety needs.
The Samyung SAR-16 is a search and rescue AIS transponder that operates on the AIS frequency to transmit emergency position information. Once the device is activated, the distress signal can be transmitted automatically within approximately one minute.
Unlike ordinary navigation devices, the AIS SART is specifically designed for evacuation and emergency conditions. It can be placed on a life raft or used together with a lifebuoy, enabling rescue teams to obtain location information more quickly and accurately.
The Samyung SAR-16 is also designed for ease of use. It can be operated automatically or manually depending on field conditions. This makes it an appropriate safety solution for merchant vessels, passenger ships, workboats, offshore vessels, and fleets operating in open waters.
The Samyung SAR-16 is designed to meet international maritime safety regulations. The device complies with MSC 246(83), IEC 61097-14, ITU-R M.1371-4, IEC 61108-1, and IEC 60945 standards.
Compliance with these standards helps ensure the device can be used as a reliable component of a vessel's safety equipment.
The Samyung SAR-16 AIS SART can be practically detached and mounted on lifebuoys and life rafts. This feature is highly beneficial during evacuation, as crew members can immediately bring the device to the safety area without complicated procedures.
With a 10-meter lanyard, the device can also be positioned more securely as needed when used on a life raft.
The Samyung SAR-16 features waterproof protection that allows the device to be submerged to a depth of 10 meters. This durability is crucial because maritime safety devices must remain operational even when exposed to rain, waves, seawater splashes, or submerged conditions.
This waterproof feature makes the AIS SART better prepared for use in challenging sea conditions.
The Samyung SAR-16 supports both automatic and manual operation. In certain conditions, the device can be activated manually by the user. Meanwhile, the automatic feature provides convenience when an emergency situation requires quick action.
This flexibility helps crew members use the device in accordance with safety procedures and actual field conditions.
One of the main advantages of the Samyung SAR-16 is its minimum operating time of 96 hours. This duration provides search and rescue teams with ample time to track the position during an emergency.
A long operating time is especially valuable when an incident occurs far from port or in sea areas with limited access to assistance.
The Samyung SAR-16 uses a lithium battery with a voltage of 7.2 V and a service life of up to five years. This advantage helps vessel owners reduce the frequency of battery replacement and minimize the maintenance costs of safety equipment.
In addition to its long battery life, the device also has a storage life of up to five years, allowing it to be kept ready as emergency equipment on board.
Once activated, the Samyung SAR-16 AIS SART can automatically transmit an emergency signal within approximately one minute. This signal helps nearby vessels and SAR parties detect the presence of the casualty or life raft.
Signal transmission speed is a critical factor in emergency situations, as every minute can determine the success of the rescue operation.
The Samyung SAR-16 is equipped with an LED indicator light and a buzzer. Both indicators help users easily determine the device's operational status, especially when used in the dark, in rain, or during high-pressure evacuation situations.
The Samyung SAR-16 uses an AIS transmitter with operating frequencies of 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz. The device has a data rate of 9,600 bps, an operating output of 1 W EIRP, and uses GMSK modulation. The antenna used is a spring whip antenna to support AIS signal transmission during emergencies.
On the navigation side, the device is equipped with a 50-channel GPS L1 C/A Code receiver with SBAS support such as WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS. The Samyung SAR-16 uses a ceramic patch antenna and offers an accuracy of up to 2.5 meters CEP.
For operational durability, this AIS SART can operate for a minimum of 96 hours. The 7.2 V lithium battery has a service life of up to five years, and the device's storage life also reaches five years.
The Samyung SAR-16 is designed to operate at temperatures between -20°C and +55°C. For storage, the device can be kept at temperatures from -30°C to +70°C. Its water resistance allows the device to be submerged to a depth of 10 meters.
In terms of physical specifications, the main unit of the Samyung SAR-16 weighs approximately 450 grams. The weight becomes approximately 600 grams when including the pole or antenna mast. The device dimensions with the pole folded are 330 x 110 mm, while the length of the device when the pole is extended reaches 1.25 meters.
The Samyung SAR-16 is the right AIS SART choice to support a vessel's safety system. The device combines emergency signal transmission, high-accuracy GPS, water resistance, long battery life, and an operating time of up to 96 hours.
These advantages make the Samyung SAR-16 suitable for use as safety equipment on various types of vessels. With a ready-to-use AIS SART device, vessels can improve their preparedness for emergencies and help accelerate the search and rescue process.
