In a bold move to thwart the growth of boat theft and enhance recovery of stolen property, the makers of DataDot DNA and Nautilus Marine Insurance Agency have teamed up to address the problem. The move follows Australian marine industry and state police concerns with the growing level of vessel theft, rebirthing and related fraud, which a National Maritime Crime Forum estimated to be as high as A$15 million. Nautilus Marine is to place a special on-pack offer on all nationally displayed retail packages of DataDot that can reduce the cost of boat insurance. Nautilus Marine’s marketing manager Mark Crockford (left) says, ´It makes a lot of sense for a leading insurer like Nautilus Marine to pass on to owners who apply DataDot to their boat’s hull and equipment the savings this protection provides. We are pleased to be able to offer DataDot retail purchasers a special 10% discount off their present boat policy.´
