Global marine safety technology specialist, Mobilarm Limited has announced that it has completed the acquisition of UK based Marine Rescue Technologies (MRT), the company behind the highly regarded Sea Marshall® range of Maritime Survivor Locating Devices.

The sale and purchase agreement with MRT covers all Marine Rescue Technologies Ltd assets, including the entire Sea Marshall product line.

The acquisition of MRT makes Mobilarm the world’s largest man overboard (MOB) safety company, a position that it says will drive the development and delivery of cutting-edge life-saving systems. As the company behind the Crewsafe V100 Maritime Survivor Locating Device (MSLD), Mobilarm is already at the forefront of MOB locating technology, but the acquisition of MRT adds over 30 years of experience, industry knowledge and product development to Mobilarm’s core expertise.

Mobilarm’s Crewsafe MSLDs provide instant alerts and constantly updated location information to rescue assets via VHF DSC should an MOB incident occur, therefore supporting the fast recovery of the casualty in the water. With the tried and tested Sea Marshall product range added to its portfolio, Mobilarm also offers and supports 121.5 MHz MSLD systems, which are in use by the North Sea oil and gas industry, Spanish fishing fleet and many more commercial marine users worldwide.

With Mobilarm offices in Australia, USA and the UK, and a strong international distribution and dealer network in both hemispheres, customers can now source Crewsafe and Sea Marshall MSLDs from the same single, yet global, supplier, regardless of where they are based or operate.

“We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of MRT as it will allow us to continue growing our presence in the global offshore oil and gas, defence and commercial marine sectors,” comments Mobilarm Chief Executive Officer, Lindsay Lyon. “This is another critical milestone for Mobilarm, and with the addition of the Sea Marshall brand to Mobilarm’s product portfolio, we have created the world’s leading man overboard safety company.”
