Datatag Marine Identification Guide

Today, unfortunately, theft is a sad fact of life. And often it's difficult for the Police to identify stolen property, vehicles or machinery simply because the original serial numbers and manufacturers identifying marks have been removed, changed or damaged, thus making it impossible to prove theft or ensure the safe return of property to the rightful owner. In such cases the thief often gets away with the crime and unbelievably can even get to keep the goods!

This marine identification guide is available for download as a PDF document, by filling in the online form across. A link to download the PDF will be emailed to you, which can then be viewed on a smart phone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry), iPad, laptop or PC. Please make sure all the fields are completed as we are unable to complete your registration otherwise.
