Ocean Signal rescueMe MOB
Ocean Signal has introduced the MOB2 to update the outstanding MOB1 to meet the latest European regulations. These are the world’s smallest AIS MOB device with integrated DSC. These MOBs are compatible with even the most compact inflatable life-jackets.
The rescueME MOBs are intended to be installed within the life-jacket and will activate automatically on inflation, sending the first alert within 15 seconds. They are waterproof to 10 metres.
The integrated white and infrared strobe lights ensures maximum visibility in low light conditions (MOB1 white visual strobe only).
MOBs communicate with the vessel you have been separated from and other vessels in the vicinity (up to 5 miles range dependent on conditions). To alert rescue authorities, an alternative product the rescueME PLB1 communicates directly via a dedicated search and rescue satellite network. The rescueME PLB3 combines both MOB & PLB alerting both local vessels and rescue authorities.
In an emergency rescueME MOBs provides 2 methods of rapidly communicating your position, accurate to a few metres, back to the vessel, plus providing visual indication via its built-in strobe light (and infrared strobe for the MOB2).
The best chance of rapid rescue if you fall overboard comes from your own vessel. Your crew needs to be immediately aware of the incident and keep track of your position whilst recovery is carried out. Even in the most moderate of seas it is alarming how quickly a visual sighting of a man overboard can be lost.
Once activated your MOB will transmit an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters in the vicinity. The integrated GPS ensures precise location is sent to your vessel and any others that may assist.
An additional feature of the MOBs is the ability to activate the DSC alarm on your vessel’s VHF, alerting your crew to the situation.
