1 AMEC AIS SART PLOMO-500 Introduction
1.1 AIS SART Brief
AMEC’s PLOMO-500 AIS SART is a self-contained radio transmitter used to locate a survival
craft or distressed vessel by sending updated position reports using Automatic Identification
System (AIS) class-A position report. Primary intended for use in a life raft or survival craft, an
AIS SART can be deployed on board or in the water. GMDSS vessels from 300 to 500 GRT are
required to carry one SART, and vessels over 500 GRT are required to carry two and since
2010.
AIS-SARTs have been a permissible alternative to radar SARTs under SOLAS regulations,
however technically more superior over radar SART thanks to its accurate GPS positioning. The
radar SART would appear only as a series of RADAR returns on the ships radar display leading
to the SARTs location.
