What FEC HELIPORTS WORLDWIDE LTD does

FEC Heliports Worldwide Ltd is a privately held UK company, founded in 2007 and based in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, that designs, manufactures, and supplies specialized heliport and helideck equipment globally. Its portfolio spans three primary segments: offshore helideck equipment (Prohibited Landing Markers, Helideck Landing Nets, Helicopter Crash Rescue Lockers, SOLAS II-2 rescue kits, and the LithiumSafe battery containment line) for oil and gas platforms and vessels; onshore heliport systems under the PAD-Star brand (LED approach, perimeter, obstruction, taxiway, and beacon lighting, plus VHF/GSM remote lighting controllers and MetPak-integrated weather stations) for hospitals and civil heliports; and portable/military solutions (FEC-Star tactical lighting, HEMS-Star emergency medical lighting, HEMS-Station secure storage cabinets, HEMS-Station Solar Plus, and the Port-A-Pad portable helipad) for rapid-deployment and forward operating environments. The business also distributes the Enercraft sub-brand of ground power units (GPU Lite), engine starters (Ultra-Starter), parallel connectors (Dual Solution), and portable energy storage (EMA).

The company's commercial model is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with quote-based pricing, a one-year standard warranty, net 30 payment terms, and a USD 50 minimum billing. Distribution is direct via the heliportsequipment.com website, which serves as both catalog and enquiry mechanism, supplemented by Google Ads remarketing, an email newsletter administered through Indigo Tree, and industry events. US-origin enquiries are routed through a channel partner, FEC Heliports USA. Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time hardware sales across three primary verticals: offshore oil and gas (Shell, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Petrofac, Petronas, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Woodside, HOCHTIEF, United Technologies), onshore hospitals and HEMS operators (Barking Hospital, Queen's Hospital Romford, Isle of Gigha Community Trust), and military and emergency services (United Nations peacekeeping, Philippine Navy, Bangladeshi Army, Mexican Navy, Babcock Mission Critical Services). The company is ISO 9001:2008 certified and a member of the British Helicopter Association and the Association of Air Ambulances.
