The Role of NAVTEX & SART
NAVTEX receivers broadcast Maritime Safety Information, while SARTs help rescuers locate liferafts. Both are mandatory under SOLAS but often neglected during maintenance.
Common Failures
- Old NAVTEX units with faulty printers or displays.
- SARTs with expired batteries.
- Lack of crew familiarity with testing procedures.
Inspection Checklist
- Verify NAVTEX is receiving current broadcasts.
- Test SART transmission and verify LED function.
- Check battery expiry and replace before due date.
