Mackay Marine  is a global distributor of Dukane Underwater VDR Acoustic Beacons – the current line-up includes: DK120, DKM502/90, and  Beacon Tester ATS270.

Acoustic beacons are attached to a ship’s VDR (Voyage Data Recorder) and activated in the event a vessel is submerged, after which the beacon will be the primary signal locator for a sunken ship.
