MAN OVERBOARD & ANTI PIRACY SYSTEMS
Man Overboard Systems & Anti-Piracy Systems
Man Overboard events continue to be a common occurrence in the cruise industry and other related markets. The problem is compounded by the fact that when these events occur the timely availability of important data is missing.
Accurate confirmation of the event including time of occurrence, location on the ship and location in the sea is critical, but often unavailable for hours following an occurrence, if at all. Fortunately, proactive detection systems such as the Man Overboard Detection System from PureTech Systems, can accurately detect man overboard events and provide immediate, actionable data to response personnel.

Accurate Video Protection
The system utilizes infrared imagers combined with geospatial video analytics, which not only provide instant visual proof of an event, but also achieves detection rates above industry benchmarks in various ranges of sea states and weather conditions. Detection coverage encompasses the length of ship, including all passenger floor levels and is accurate for both cold and warm water cruise routes.
Situationally Aware User Interface
Use of geospatial data within the detection algorithms allows for a user interface that is easy to understand and simple to use. In situations, such as man overboard events, providing a high level of situational awareness aids first responders in gaining a full understanding of the event as quickly as possible. This is achieved through geolocation of the alarm location, instant access to detection images, looping videos of the event, as well as audio notification. The system includes a full alarm database and video playback capability.
Man Overboard Detection User Interface
Field Tested for Low False Alarms
Almost as important as detection accuracy, false alarms from weather conditions and cruise operations can minimize the effectiveness of detection systems. The Man Overboard Detection System has undergone real-world testing on board superliner-class cruise ships using industry-developed guidelines along established cold water and warm water cruise routes. The system is affordable and testing demonstrated positive results including minimal false alarms, and very high detection rates.
