SOS Marine: lifejackets and rescue equipment for boating
SOS Marine manufactures lifejackets and supplies life rafts, man-overboard markers and recovery equipment. Its products help boat owners prepare to protect people on the surface and bring someone back aboard if they enter the water unexpectedly.
Think through the recovery, too
Flotation is essential to consider, but a person in the water may also need to be located and helped onto a vessel. SOS Marine's range includes the SOS Dan Buoy, recovery ladders and the Sea Scoopa. These address different jobs in preparing for an incident aboard.
We like the attention to recovery as a practical task. Simply reaching the side of a boat doesn't always mean someone can climb back in. Equipment selected around the vessel and crew gives that next step proper consideration before it is needed.
Australian equipment for people afloat
The business manufactures in Botany, Sydney, and serves leisure, professional and defence users. Its offering is focused on protecting people, with products chosen according to their intended use. That focus is relevant to our readers who spend time on boats as well as in the water.
We feature SOS Marine because familiarity with the sea doesn't remove the need to prepare a vessel and its crew. Lifejackets, markers and recovery equipment each have a defined role. The company's range makes it possible to think about those roles together, keeping the people aboard at the centre of choosing the boat's safety equipment.
