UHF Handheld Firefighter Radio for SOLAS Chapter 11-2, Regulation 10.10.4

SmartFind R8F UHF FireFighter Radio

SOLAS Mandated Equipment – McMurdo’s first marine approved two-way radio made specifically for firefighting communications.

The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC), adopted the following amendment to SOLAS regulation II-2/10 regarding firefighters’ communication: “For ships constructed on or after 1 July 2014, a minimum of two two-way portable radiotelephone apparatus for each fire party for firefighter's communication shall be carried on board. Those two-way portable radiotelephone apparatus shall be of an explosion-proof type or intrinsically safe. Ships constructed before 1 July 2014 shall comply with the requirements of this paragraph not later than the first survey after 1 July 2018."

The rugged McMurdo SmartFind R8F UHF FireFighter Radio is an intrinsically safe two-way radio that meets new SOLAS II-2 mandated regulations for improved fire safety at sea.

It has everything an emergency team needs in a radio, from enhanced grip and large tactile buttons for easy and fast operation in an emergency situation, to a powerful in-built loud speaker and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) for optimised indoor use. Bright red and for emergency use only, SmartFind R8F is a reliable and hardwearing radio that will support firefighters at sea during potentially life-threatening situations.

It is imperative that emergency teams can rely on the very best equipment and this is exactly what they’ll get with the McMurdo SmartFind R8F.
