The Fog Gong with Beater from MariTeam is a vital maritime safety device designed to comply with international regulations for sound signaling in conditions of restricted visibility. Constructed from durable brass and accompanied by a soft beater, this fog gong ensures reliable performance in demanding marine environments.
Material: High-quality brass for durability and corrosion resistance.
