❓ SART – The Lifesaving Device Every Seafarer Should KnowIn an emergency, finding a liferaft in the open sea can be extremely difficult.That's where SART (Search and Rescue Radar Transponder) becomes critical.When a nearby ship or aircraft sends an X-band radar signal (9.2–9.5 GHz), the SART automatically responds by transmitting a series of signals back to the radar.On the rescuer's radar display, these signals first appear as 12 dots, then change into arcs, and finally into concentric circles as the rescue unit gets closer.This allows rescuers to locate your exact position much faster.⚓ Key facts:✅ SOLAS approved✅ Automatically activated by X-band radar✅ No manual transmission required✅ Installed in lifeboats and liferafts✅ One of the most important GMDSS survival devices onboard📌 Every seafarer should know not only where the SART is located, but also how and when to use it. In a real emergency, that knowledge could save lives.Need help with maritime documents, medicals, certificates, interview preparation, a professional CV, LinkedIn optimization, or CV distribution to thousands of crewing companies?Contact @SeaFormat
