Man overboard system for offshore fleet
The Mobilarm Crewsafe unit
Bhagwan Marine endorses Crewsafe for fleet of 30 oil and gas offshore support vessels
As a company publicly committed to the safety of the crew aboard its workboats servicing the South East Asian oil and gas sectors, Bhagwan Marine says that it is leading the way installing Crewsafe - a wireless safety system designed to reduce the risk of injury or death through man overboard - on three vessels including their newest vessel the multi-purpose utility Catamaran, the Lauri - J.
The premium version of Crewsafe, which includes complete crew management systems was installed aboard the Lauri - J and configured for 18 Crewsafe tags supporting six crew and up to ten clients.
Bhagwan Marine's Managing Director, Loui Kannikoski said the company's policy is prevention and safety first. "If you happen to save one person then the company's objectives are achieved. I've worked in the commercial Marine industry since 1974 and have experienced first-hand that prevention is the key to ensuring your crew are safe.
"Following the successful trials I can see Crewsafe will offer all our crew an extra level of safety which will help to save lives," Kannikoski said.
Mobilarm Crewsafe is a wireless safety network, which provides a new level of marine employee safety and security through crew location monitoring and by automatically initiating a network-wide alert to all personnel within seconds of an incident occurring.
It enables marine employers to remove significant identified risks from the work place and reduce the likelihood of related fatalities.
Crewsafe is an active crew monitoring and reporting system, which immediately detects emergency events such as man overboard, providing a GPS waypoint, range and bearing in order to facilitate a quick, effective rescue of the person in the water. It also offers additional security and communication functionality, such as crew location monitoring, covert alarm capability, crew paging, First Aid training, and rescue asset and safety equipment management. Future versions of the product are planned to incorporate bio-metric monitoring and gas detection.
Bhagwan Marine's Samson Explorer, which has had a pre-installation survey completed, is ear-marked for the next install and commission of Crewsafe within the Bhagwan fleet.
The company has selected the Mobilarm V100 Digital PLB for use across the organisation to increase safety in crew transfer and operations on the vessels.
