Seas of Solutions is a new organisation based on the foundation of globally recognised safety electronics brands McMurdo, Netwave and Kannad Marine. Our vision is to support safer sailing, anytime – everywhere.

Seas of Solutions’ mission is to offer reliable, innovative marine electronics that help improve robust data capture and maximise crew survivability, which we deliver via our globally recognised McMurdo, Netwave and Kannad Marine brands. Our latest innovations include Galileo distress beacons; the world’s first Return Link Service PLB, our unique AIS EPIRBs range and the newly upgraded NW6000 VDR solutions that offer world leading vessel data visualisation.

The FastFind Return Link PLB is the latest Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) from the FastFind brand, which launched its' first compact, non-GPS, distress beacon back in 2001. FastFind, now part of Netherlands based Seas of Solutions, is synonymous with innovative and reliable PLBs based on the dedicated Cospas Sarsat 406 MHz rescue frequency.
