Bhagwan Marine rolls out Mobilarm Crewsafe safety system
PERTH, Australia — Bhagwan Marine is rolling out the Mobilarm Crewsafe wireless safety system across its fleet of oil and gas marine vessels following successful installations in November.
Crewsafe is a crew monitoring and reporting system that immediately detects emergency events such as man overboard, providing a GPS waypoint, range, and bearing. It also provides crew location monitoring, covert alarm capability, crew paging, first aid training, and rescue asset and safety equipment management.
Bhagwan Marine has installed the system on three vessels including its newest utility Catamaran LAURI – J and configured for 18 Crewsafe tags supporting six crew and up to ten passengers.
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,” said Mr Kannikoski.
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.
