1. What is an AIS Man Overboard Device and how does it work?

An AIS (Automatic Identification System) Man Overboard (MOB) device is a safety tool used to track and locate individuals who fall overboard while at sea. When activated, the device transmits a distress signal via AIS to nearby vessels, making it easier for the crew to quickly locate the person in the water. These devices work in real-time, improving the chances of a successful rescue.

2. How do I activate an AIS Man Overboard Device?

AIS Man Overboard devices are typically activated manually or automatically when the device hits the water. Some devices are designed to be worn by individuals while on board, ensuring that the MOB signal is triggered immediately if someone falls into the water. Activation is often as simple as pulling a safety pin or pressing a button.

3. Do I need a subscription for an AIS Man Overboard Device?

No, AIS Man Overboard devices do not require a subscription. They work by broadcasting a distress signal to nearby vessels using the AIS system. However, for the device to be compatible with your vessel's AIS system, you may need to ensure that your vessel's AIS transponder or receiver is properly set up and configured.
