Automated muster (emergency drill) security and safety system
The MusterGuard is an IT-based system that provides real-time situational awareness of your employees during an emergency evacuation or muster drill, automatically. The system installs on a standard local area network and the hardware components are marine-grade IP addressable devices. The system modules include personnel on board (POB), time and attendance, access control, automated muster system and report module. The MusterGuard provides electronically:
- Complete count of personnel on board
- Number of persons expected at each muster station
- Number of persons who have reported to the muster station
- Number of persons who have not reported
- Immediate indication of persons who have reported to the wrong muster station
- Automatic electronic reports (required) that can be customized and exported (EXCEL) offsite over the network
- The system provides exception reports so that HSE can take corrective action to reduce the time of the drill and quality of the results
Maritime rescue system and survivor locating devices
The Sea Marshall rescue system is comprised of two components, a personal locator beacon (or alert) and a base unit. The base unit or receiver can be an alarm-only or an alarm with direction finder, for open waters.
