Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon

Wherever your boating takes you, the Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 ensures that help is just one button press away. As the world's smallest Category 1 EPIRB, it delivers full-power, satellite-based distress alerting in a compact housing that's easy to mount, stow or carry aboard any vessel.

How It Works

When activated, the rescueME EPIRB1 transmits your GPS location and unique ID to a Rescue Coordination Centre via satellite. Local rescue services are immediately notified and continuously updated with your position, ensuring the fastest possible response time in a maritime emergency.

Registration is simple — contact your national registration authority (online, by post, or email) and provide your 15-digit HEX ID (UIN) along with your contact and emergency details. This links your beacon to your personal information in the International Beacon Registration Database (IBRD) for an efficient rescue response.
