Bid To Reduce Boat Theft

Marine insurance agency Nautilus Marine has teamed up with DataDot DNA in a bid to curb boat theft and enhance the recovery of stolen marine property

According to Nautilus Marine, the partnership follows marine industry and police concerns over the growing level of vessel theft, re-birthing and related fraud.

“It makes a lot of sense for a leading insurer like Nautilus Marine to pass on to owners who apply DataDot technology to their boat’s hull and equipment the savings that this protection provides,” Nautilus Marine’s marketing manager Mark Crockford said. “We are pleased to be able to offer DataDot retail purchasers a special 10 per cent discount off their present boat policy.”

DataDot DNA is a theft deterrent system made up of thousands of microscopic dots that are sprayed inside hulls and on equipment.

Between 1500 and 4000 dots are applied to the vessel. Each dot is laser-etched with a unique registered hull identification number or personal identification number.
