MOB Systems
An MOB system (Man Overboard) refers to a set of devices and procedures designed to detect, locate, and recover individuals who have accidentally fallen overboard from a ship or boat.
The primary goal is to minimize the time between the incident and the rescue, thereby increasing the person's chances of survival.

Rescue Net
Purpose: The MOB rescue net is designed to catch or stabilize a person in the water after falling overboard. It helps reduce the risk of injury and facilitates safe and efficient recovery.
Construction: Typically made from durable and buoyant materials, the net is designed for quick deployment—either over the side of the vessel or from a dedicated storage location.
Attachment: The net is fixed to the vessel and can either be permanently installed or deployed as needed. Modern systems may feature automatic deployment mechanisms that integrate with other MOB detection systems.
Visibility: Often manufactured in bright, high-visibility colors to enhance visibility in the water, making it easier for rescue crews to locate the person.
Integration with MOB Systems: An MOB rescue net is often used in conjunction with other MOB systems, such as automatic alert systems and GPS technology, to mark the precise location of the incident.
Applications: MOB rescue nets are primarily used in maritime environments, especially on larger vessels or in situations where there is a significant risk of people falling overboard.
By integrating MOB rescue nets into broader safety systems, ship crews can respond quickly and effectively in emergencies ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals on board.
