Beyond-human vigilance and safeguarding

FORCE ADVANTAGE

  • No sailor left behind

    Immediate automated detection of person overboard incidents enables recovery within the critical 30-minute survival window. Compliant to ISO 21195:2020 standards, ZOE eliminates uncertainty at the moment it matters most.

  • See the unseen

    ZOE provides an always-on pair of digital eyes, mitigating alarm fatigue and supporting lean crew operations.

  • Stay on mission

    Immediate, precise detection with live tracking data concludes MOB incidents rapidly, minimising multi-asset search time, protecting operational continuity, and preserving mission focus.

Protecting lives, assets & critical missions

Shipmate safeguarding system

Immediate detection
for rapid recovery

In many naval man-overboard incidents, the fall is unwitnessed, leaving no known point of entry and creating a vast search area.

80% of deaths from drowning occur within the first 30 minutes; ZOE MOB detects a person entering the water immediately, providing real-time alerts and precise location data to support rapid recovery within this critical survival window. ZOE MOB+ extends this capability with live tracking of personnel in the water, maintaining visual contact even in challenging sea states.

By providing certainty at the moment it matters most, ZOE effectively takes the search out of search and rescue.

Beyond-human watchkeeping

Always-on digital eyes

Human watchkeepers are limited by fatigue, distraction and environmental conditions. ZOE Lookout provides AI-powered visual detection of non-AIS, non-radar contacts, including small vessels, USVs, floating anomalies.

By supplementing radar and AIS data, ZOE delivers a complete surface picture to reduce collision risk and enhance navigational safety in congested or contested environments. The system operates passively, supporting EMCON silent operations where radar use is restricted or undesirable.

Trusted in the real world

  • “ZOE gives our passengers and crew peace of mind that in the rare event of a MOB incident bridge teams are immediately alerted to a person falling overboard, with the person tracked until rescued.”

    Nick Hughes

    COO, Ambassador Cruise Lines

  • “A man-overboard during rig transit or operations is always an area of concern, and this technology provides an opportunity to automate this detection process, without requiring continuous human interaction. It’s like having thousands of extra eyes on the lookout.”
