Man overboard alarm

A man overboard alarm is a safety system designed to quickly detect and alert crew members or authorities when a person falls overboard from a vessel. It typically consists of sensors or devices installed on the boat that can detect sudden changes in position or the absence of a crew member. When triggered, the alarm system activates audible and visual alerts on the vessel, notifying crew members of the emergency and prompting immediate response actions. Man overboard alarms may also integrate with navigation systems or satellite technology to provide precise location information, facilitating rapid retrieval and rescue operations. These systems are crucial for enhancing safety and minimizing response times during man overboard incidents, ensuring swift and effective measures to retrieve individuals from the water and prevent accidents.
