You can monitor your boat journeys for your safety

SOUTH CAPE The new RSA SafeTrx App monitors your boat journeys and alerts emergency contacts should you fail to return on time. This Smartphone app for both Android and Apple iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) allows you to plan your journey on your phone. You can enter your journey details and set off knowing that should you not return by the time given, your emergency contact will be alerted and advised to initiate appropriate action. Where an emergency contact calls the MRCC concerning an overdue trip, they will have access to your location and SafeTrx Trip data through a secure SafeTrx server. Since the app periodically sends your location data back to our servers, the NSRI’s response team can get help directly to you, and quickly. The SafeTrx support email address is nsri@safetrxapp.com

Emergency Contacts

The information and functions provided in this application are provided on the understanding that users exercise their own skill and care with respect to their use. Safety at sea is a serious consideration. In emergency circumstances, you should not rely solely on the information and functions provided in this application, but seek information and assistance from as many sources as possible. This application may provide you with information and assistance relevant to your current locations, as determined by the mobile device that you are using. However, the devices and the telecommunications systems that support them are inherently unreliable and there is a risk that there will be no connectivity between your mobile device and global positioning systems. Uninterrupted connectivity between your mobile device and global positioning systems cannot be guaranteed.
