Buy Back GME 2019 and price changes

We are pleased to report a decrease on almost all EPIRB models. In particular, the decrease concerns the models MT403FF, MT603G and MT603FG with a variation between 3% and 13%. Reverse trend for the basic model, i.e. MT403, which increases by 4%

We are particularly pleased with the decrease in GPS models (9% decrease for MT603G and 13% decrease for MT603FG), as the market is gradually shifting to this option and we are so happy to further facilitate this trend, which can offer greater accuracy in the location of the shipwreck.

There are no variations on other GME products.

After 4 years that the EPIRB has been put into service, the Italian regulations provide for the replacement of the EPIRB or the battery, even if the expiry date of the battery stamped on the device is later.

For further information please refer to the SBM procedure in our glossary, where the second paragraph explains why it would be advisable to replace the EPIRB instead of the battery alone.

This is the seventh consecutive year that the GME Buy Back Campaign has been revalidated, which testifies to the success of this operation and the strong appreciation of users for this initiative.

The GME campaign is valid for any brand or model of EPIRB to be scrapped. The value of the used is evaluated regardless of the brand or type of used returned and is only dependent on the GME model purchased.

The Buy Back GME campaign is available from the best nautical retailers.
