Commercial shipping is governed by a number of regulations covering Safety at Sea Requirements.
Most but not all commercial shipping is required to carry a CAT 1 Epirb.
Some comercial vessel's are only required to carry a CAT 2 Epirb.
The primary difference between Cat 1 and Cat 2 is that the Cat1 Beacons are usually housed in Shipbourne weather proof housings and are designed to be Automatic Activation, Float free with Hydrostatic release.
Mainstay is very focused on our primary goal of providing professional technical services as a V.A.S. (Value Added Service) to every product that we sell. Throughout our website you will see V.A.S.
For example with all Epirb's, PLB's and ELT's purchased from Mainstay the purchase will automatically include Testing and Certification service for the following year. This "value add" represents a saving of over $100.
Prices do not include freight.
