Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – GOST® (Global Ocean Security Technologies), a world leader in marine security, tracking, monitoring and video surveillance systems, announced today that its Nav-Tracker was instrumental in the targeted recovery of a 38-foot tender.
A tender for a much larger superyacht, the luxury vessel was under tow in Newfoundland when the bridle broke 20 minutes after pulling out of the harbor. As it was outside of AIS range, the crew used the Nav-Tracker to locate it in difficult conditions. The yacht crew was able to make the recovery without damage to the vessel.
“We were happy to have the GOST system on board last week when our tow was lost and the AIS was out of range for identifying its location,” said the captain of the yacht. “GOST played a crucial role in expediting its safe recovery during a very dark night before it was pushed ashore by the current.”
“It is amazing how common it is for boats to break free while under tow in challenging sea conditions,” said Brian Kane, CEO and President, GOST. “The Nav-Tracker provided a simple and elegant tool that the crew could use to find and retrieve their tender over Inmarsat geostationary tracking. We are relieved that our Nav-Tracker could bring this situation to a rapid, targeted and positive conclusion.”
