NSR’s new generation AIS man overboard beacon device MOB3000

The new man overboard beacon MOB3000 by NSR is compatible with most of the current inflatable life-jackets. The beacon is intended to be installed on the life-jacket and will activate automatically when it gets in contact with water, or can be manually activated. The integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility in low light conditions.

The NSR MOB3000 communicates with the vessel you have been separated from and other vessels in the vicinity (up to 4 nautical miles range dependent on conditions). In an emergency the beacon provides rapid communication of your position, accurate to a few meters, back to the vessel, plus providing a visual indication via its built-in strobe light.

The best chance of rapid rescue if you fall overboard comes from your own vessel. Your crew needs to be immediately aware of the incident and keep track of your position whilst recovery is carried out. Even in the most moderate of seas, it is alarming how quickly a visual sighting of a man overboard can be lost.

Once activated your NSR MOB3000 will transmit an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters in the vicinity. The integrated GPS ensures the precise location is sent to your vessel and any others that may be assisting. Most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF comply with the standards required to receive MOB transmissions.

It is, however, especially if you are using older equipment, recommended that you check compatibility with the equipment manufacturer.
