Zelim has announced that its AI-powered ZOE man-overboard detection (MOB) system has received ISO 21195:2020 certification from Lloyd’s Register after successful testing. This certification marks a significant milestone, as it is the first time ISO testing has been conducted on a cruise vessel, specifically aboard the Ambition, managed by Ambassador Cruise Line.
During a 90-day sea trial, ZOE demonstrated an impressive 97% detection rate in simulated man-overboard scenarios, surpassing the ISO’s minimum requirements. The ISO 21195 standard, developed with input from the cruise industry, the US Coast Guard, and technology providers, outlines the performance benchmarks for automatic MOB detection systems on passenger ships.
Although child detection is not mandated by the ISO assessment, ZOE is the first system certified to detect both adults and children under the standard. This certification is anticipated to positively influence the cruise industry and the broader maritime sector, aligning with the safety requirements outlined in The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 (CVSSA).
Developed by Zelim, the ZOE system utilizes advanced computer vision and video analytics for comprehensive 360-degree surveillance, trained on over 9.5 million annotated maritime objects to ensure rapid detection of man-overboard incidents.
