Chip and Trace latest news 
Chip and Trace PRO is the first and only recipient of the new Thatcham Marine Tracking Security Accreditation, TQA116 & TQA117. 
We are constantly talking to Marine Insurance Companies to ask them to offer Discounts on Insurance Premiums for clients who install Chip and Trace PRO on their vessels (of all shapes and sizes). 
 
We are also campaigning with the RYA and British Marine Federation. 
 
We want to raise a petition from vessel owners, charter companies and marine brokers to deliver to the Insurance Companies and the various Yachting Associations and Authorities. 
 
Please help us to help you and reduce your Insurance Premiums, whilst protecting your valuable asset. 
 
Please go to the "Contact Us" section and leave your details. 
 
Many Thanks

ANCASTA & CHIP AND TRACE JOIN FORCES - 27th FEBRUARY 2009  
 
James Box of Ancasta, based in Falmouth said; 
 
“Ancasta is proud that all of our partnerships are with suppliers of products and services that represent either a premium service or exceptional quality. 
 
Boat Crime is an issue for our clients, particularly now, s many boats are becoming more like extensions of our homes. The Automotive Industry was one of the first to recognise that customers gained a great deal of confidence from being able to safeguard or track their car, when it was left alone, but the Marine Industry has been less speedy to recognise this. 
 
Ancasta are pleased to support a product which gives peace of mind to our owners and allows our customers to gain greater comfort from making such a large purchase such as a vessel, in the knowledge that they are always aware of the vessel’s whereabouts”

HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY MARINE UNIT SUCCESSFULLY TEST CHIP + TRACE PRO - 8th Dec 2008 
 
In the Autumn Chip and Trace Pro was tasked to perform a RIB theft simulation exercise through the Solent. 
 
The 35 knot 6 metre RIB was initially tracked using GPS heading for the Hamble estuary, the Police Launch followed at approx 18 knots. 
 
Actual lat/long and course directions were passed to the Police Launch via radio, from the monitoring Officer in the Police Control Room who received the information, real time, on their computer. 
 
Soon the Chip and Trace Pro GPS positions had stopped reporting, but was subsequently traced using GSM. 
 
About 1 mile from the from the last GPS/GSM position the hand held radio location equipment started to receive the homing beacon (in-built into the Chip and Trace Pro Unit), within 10 minutes the launch tied up along side the RIB, which was hidden amongst 100's of craft in Port Hamble Marina 
 
Now the radio find operation was required to home in on the Chip and Trace Pro Unit, Richard Taylor from Automatrics stepped onto the jetty and the used the radio finder. 
 
Within 15 minutes the Chip and Trace Pro Unit was located, it had been hidden in the Marina Office, placed behind the cash register.
