MSC Cruises is likely one of the only a few accountable cruise traces which have put in computerized man overboard (MOB) programs (on not less than this ship). MOB programs instantly ship a visible and audio sign which alerts the bridge that an individual has gone over the rails in order that the ship can promptly start emergency rescue efforts. The expertise makes use of video, movement detection and radar programs to file the one that goes overboard from the ship. It additionally detects and tracks the particular person within the water, even at evening.
We’ve criticized MSC prior to now as a result of crew members and passengers have disappeared from MSC ships with out any such expertise.
In 2017, we reported that MSC Cruises introduced that it had put in a state-of-the-art man overboard system on the MSC Meraviglia and is planning to deploy related programs throughout its fleet of cruise ships.
MSC Cruises indicated that it developed an “clever video capturing and evaluation system” in collaboration with “safety expertise specialists, Bosch and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.” The Swiss-based cruise line introduced that it has examined the brand new man overboard system on the corporate’s latest ship which debuted in June (2017). MSC reported that “by way of over 25,000 hours of video evaluation, intensive software program testing and steady algorithmic updates, the system has now reached a confirmed accuracy degree of 97%.”
The MOB information and pictures are analyzed by two separate and unbiased picture processing programs which considerably decrease false alerts. “As soon as the alarm is activated in case of an overboard, an acoustic sign and light-weight will notify the ship’s safety officer, in a central safety room, who can instantly retrieve and evaluate the photographs and information and instantly notify the bridge to start rescue efforts,” in line with Seatrade Cruise News.”MSC Cruises introduced MSC Meraviglia is fitted with an built-in video surveillance system to optimize safety monitoring on board the ship and which is able to enable, amongst different options, for the speediest intervention within the unlikely occasion an individual or object falls overboard.”
In July 2019, a cruise guest in her 40’s went overboard from the MSC Meraviglia but was promptly rescued after the auto MOB alerted the crew that she went overboard.
Sadly. MSC Cruises says (in a press release beneath per FOX13) that the girl on this newest overboard case sustained “deadly accidents,” apparently from the autumn:
“Early this morning, MSC Meraviglia superior detection programs alerted our crew to a passenger overboard whereas the ship was crusing to Port Canaveral. The crew carried out an instantaneous search and rescue operation, alongside the US Coast Guard who supported search efforts with boats and a helicopter.
Sadly, regardless of the speedy rescue operation, the passenger sustained deadly accidents. We’re providing our full assist to authorities as they examine this matter.
We’re deeply saddened by this incident and provide our sincerest condolences to the household and people affected.”
Certainly one of just some #cruise traces which applied auto man overboard (MOB) expertise, MSC Cruises beforehand introduced it put in state-of-art MOB system on MSC Meraviglia https://t.co/zCOCevyFH1 However overboard passenger sustained “deadly accidents” in fall per @MSCCruisesUSA… https://t.co/gaT4fI9rAq

We aren’t conscious whether or not MSC Cruises has put in related MOB programs on different ships in its fleet. To our data, Disney Cruises is the one different cruise line to put money into the MOB expertise.
According to Cruise expert Dr. Ross Klein, 375 individuals have gone overboard within the final 25 years or so. On November 24, a 28 year-old man went overboard from the Carnival Valor however was rescued over 21 hours later. Simply yesterday, a 23 year old woman from P&O Cruises (Australia) Pacific Explorer went overboard and was recovered lifeless over 7 hours later. Neither certainly one of these Carnival Corp-owned ships hasMOB programs put in.
