The OLAS "Overboard Location Alert System" creates a portable alert system for crew tracking and overboard location.
In a MOB situation, OLAS will sound an alarm and record the latitude and longitude of the incident using the phone's or tablet's GPS.
In the event that the skipper or a crew member has fallen overboard, OLAS directly assists the remaining crew for a successful MOB rescue as well as communication with the rescue services.
Overview:
Ensures all crew members are present
Significantly increases the chance of self-rescue in a Man Overboard emergency
Helps to clearly and precisely pass on relevant information to the sea rescue
Provides live navigation data while sailing or racing
OLAS Tags pair with your smartphone or tablet and create a virtual lifeline between your phone / tablet and crew members, children, pets or objects, such as a lifebuoy or dinghy.
When the virtual lifeline is broken, OLAS will:
Issue an acoustic alarm and light signal
Record the time and GPS location of where the incident occurred and your current GPS location
Clearly illustrates the direction and course to return to the alarm's GPS position
