About Us    

 

SOUTH EASTERN MARINE SERVICES LTD was established in the early 1980’s to provide sales, service and rental of marine and aviation liferafts and safety/ survival equipment. Key personnel, drawing on many years previous experience, quickly established a loyal customer base. As the aviation side of the business became larger the AEROSAFE brand came more in to the public eye.

“AGAINST COMPANY POLICY”

The AEROSAFE lifejacket was the result of servicing “airline style passenger” lifejackets used by GA pilots and crew. We were finding a failure rate of these lifejackets approaching 50 percent.
We designed the AEROSAFE jacket as being more suitable for constant wear in the confines of light aircraft. Years of consumer testing has since reduced the failure rate to a negligible level.

AEROSAFE lifejackets were subsequently complimented by a range of liferafts, distress beacons and various items of survival equipment from renowned manufacturers from around the world.

As well as servicing and selling this equipment it became more popular for customers to rent liferafts, lifejackets etc and SEMS AEROSAFE established a large fleet of liferafts and a huge variety of equipment available to hire.
