New Technology Developed to Save Crew Overboard in Emergencies
A study by the UK’s MAIB reveals that 40% of man-overboard incidents on merchant ships end in fatalities, with over 1,000 people falling overboard yearly. Sam Mayall, founder of Zelim, developed Guardian, an unmanned/manned rescue vessel to address this issue. With rapid deployment and advanced technology, Guardian aims to increase chances of rescue in harsh maritime conditions.
