automatic man overboard recovery systems

Automatic man overboard recovery systems are safety devices designed to quickly alert and assist when someone falls into the water. They typically include sensors such as man-overboard detectors or drifter beacons on the person, which trigger alarms and activate devices like automatic life rafts, alarms, or alarms on the vessel. Some systems can automatically steer the boat to the person's location, deploy flotation devices, or activate distress signals. These systems enhance safety by reducing response time, increasing the likelihood of rescue, and providing timely alerts to crew, even if the crew is not immediately aware of the man overboard incident.
