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.
