Mobilarm Crewsafe: Crew safety monitoring system for offshore vessels and commercial marine operators

Mobilarm Crewsafe is a crew safety monitoring system for use on offshore vessels and by commercial marine operators, which automatically activates an alarm within seconds of a man overboard incident or other personnel-related emergency.

Scalable to most marine environments, the industrial-grade system is designed to improve the workplace safety of marine employees by monitoring the safety of crew at work at all times. Crewsafe is a network of wireless routers which creates a crew safety monitoring system that automatically detects emergencies involving personnel and can initiate a full-scale alert within seconds of an incident occurring, such as man overboard.

Each employee carries a small transceiver - a Crewsafe Tag - whose wireless signal keeps them connected to the network via the Crewsafe routers. The network immediately detects any break in the signal and will automatically raise the alarm if the connection is not re-established within a few seconds. Therefore, if a worker falls overboard, the Tag disconnects from the Crewsafe network and the alarm is automatically raised. The Tag also features a duress button that can be manually activated if an employee is in distress but not in the water.

Other Crewsafe system features include crew location monitoring, manual and covert alarms, crew paging and management of safety equipment and rescue assets.

Mobilarm Crewsafe integrates with onboard navigation equipment to provide incident position and track-back data and can also interface with external devices to implement additional safety measures.
