Ocean Signal

As a global leader in water safety, Ocean Signal designs and manufactures advanced personal and vessel beacons, AIS devices, and distress signalers engineered to save lives at sea.

Marine Safety Technology Built for the Moments That Matter

When you’re out on the water, reliable safety equipment isn’t an optional extra. Ocean Signal develops advanced emergency beacons and marine safety technology designed to help alert rescuers, communicate your position and support a faster response when every second matters.

From compact Personal Locator Beacons to vessel-mounted EPIRBs and AIS Man Overboard devices, Ocean Signal combines satellite technology, accurate positioning and rugged marine-ready design to help keep sailors, crews and offshore professionals safer.

Designed to Get You Found

Ocean Signal specialises in technology designed for emergency situations.

Its range includes 406 MHz Personal Locator Beacons and EPIRBs that can communicate through the international Cospas-Sarsat Search and Rescue satellite network, alongside AIS-enabled devices capable of broadcasting an emergency position to nearby vessels.

The result is a range of compact safety equipment designed to give recreational and professional users an additional layer of protection when mobile coverage and conventional communication methods may no longer be available.

Emergency Protection You Can Carry With You

A Personal Locator Beacon, or PLB, is a compact emergency beacon designed to be carried by an individual.

When activated in a life-threatening emergency, compatible Ocean Signal PLBs transmit a 406 MHz distress signal through the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite network, helping Search and Rescue authorities identify both the beacon and its position.

Ocean Signal's range includes the ultra-compact rescueME PLB1 and the advanced rescueME PLB3, which combines global 406 MHz alerting with AIS technology for an additional local layer of distress signalling.

Ideal for sailors, kayakers, anglers, offshore workers and anyone travelling beyond reliable terrestrial communications.

Essential Emergency Protection for Your Vessel

Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons, EPIRBs, are designed specifically for maritime emergencies.

Once activated, an EPIRB can transmit a vessel's distress alert and position through the global Search and Rescue satellite system, allowing the appropriate rescue authorities to begin coordinating a response.

Advanced Ocean Signal models such as the rescueME EPIRB3 add technologies including AIS, Return Link Service and NFC connectivity, combining global distress alerting with additional tools designed to aid localisation, reassurance and device management.

Whether you're cruising, sailing offshore or operating commercially, an EPIRB can form a critical part of your vessel's emergency equipment.
