In 1985 Pharos Marine was approved as an ISO 9000 company and currently holds ISO 9001:2000 approval. In 1989 AB Pharos Marine Ltd and Automatic Power Inc of Houston, Texas USA merged to become a powerful force in the global manufacture of marine aids to navigation.

For the 21st Century, Pharos Marine has brought some exciting new products to the market place, including the proven Phalcon-2000 racon.

Pharos Marine is utilising new technologies and has available LED arrays combining new 'Stabrite' super efficient LEDs with TracSwitcher flasher controllers to give the greatest intensity of light for minimal power. Retrofit units fit into 85mm, 140mm, 155mm, 250mm and 300mm lanterns and are supplied with free programmable software for user adjustment.

In accordance with new IALA recommendations, a newly classified 2.5m diameter Emergency Wreck Marker Buoy has been introduced which supports a racon with code mark 'D' and alternating blue and yellow 5nm flashing light.

The Port of Antwerp has purchased additional FA-240 LED range lights and LED lanterns to mark important waterways within the port's jurisdiction. More than 40 FA-240 lanterns are now installed in the port. And off Sakhalin Island in the Sea of Okhotsk, Pharos Marine lights, fog detectors, fog signals, racons and monitoring systems have been installed on the world's largest concrete production platforms.
