In the maritime industry, ensuring the safety and efficiency of operations is paramount. According to the "Annual Overview of Marine Casualties and Incidents 2023" report, the leading causes of marine casualties from 2014 to 2022 were human action (59.1%), system/equipment failure (25.3%), incidents involving other agents or vessels (8.4%), hazardous materials (5.3%), and unknown factors (1.9%).
Our Ship Remote Video Monitoring System (RVMS) is specifically designed to address these pain points, offering a comprehensive solution that enhances safety and operational efficiency on board.
Tackling Human Action-Related Incidents
Pain Point 1: Human action is the most significant cause of marine incidents, accounting for 59.1% of accidents. Human errors, procedural lapses, and non-compliance with safety protocols are major contributors.
Solution1: The RVMS utilizes AI technology to provide real-time analysis of crew behaviors and safety practices, focusing on detecting risky or hazardous behaviors and any deviations from safety norms. The system's AI visual comparison tools can identify over 30 different kinds of safety risks across critical areas of a ship, such as the deck, wheelhouse, cargo control room, and engine room. By promptly flagging any potentially dangerous actions or safety violations, the RVMS enhances compliance with safety protocols and minimizes human error. This proactive approach helps prevent accidents before they occur, ensuring a safer working environment without compromising crew privacy.
Addressing System/Equipment Failures
Pain Point 2: System and equipment failures account for 25.3% of marine incidents. These failures are particularly prevalent in passenger ships and fishing vessels.
Solution 2: The RVMS monitors the operational status of all critical equipment on board in real-time. This includes regular checks on the functionality of navigation systems, engine room equipment, and other essential machinery. By ensuring that all systems are functioning correctly and by providing timely alerts for maintenance, the RVMS helps prevent equipment-related failures. The system's low-latency, high-quality video playback ensures that any potential issues are identified and addressed promptly, thereby reducing the risk of equipment malfunctions.
Mitigating Incidents Involving Other Agents or Vessels
Pain Point 3: Interactions with other vessels and external agents account for 8.4% of marine incidents.
Solution 3: The RVMS supports comprehensive situational awareness by providing multiple angles of real-time video feeds. This capability allows for better monitoring of the ship's surroundings, ensuring that any potential collisions or hazardous interactions with other vessels are detected early. The system can also integrate with external navigation aids and vessel traffic services to provide a holistic view of the maritime environment, further enhancing navigational safety.
Managing Hazardous Material Incidents
Pain Point 4: Hazardous materials contribute to 5.3% of marine incidents. These incidents can have severe environmental and safety implications.
Solution 4: The RVMS includes specialized monitoring for the handling and storage of hazardous materials. By providing real-time surveillance of areas where hazardous materials are stored or transported, the system ensures that all safety protocols are strictly followed. In the event of a spill or leak, the RVMS can quickly detect the anomaly and alert the crew, allowing for immediate action to mitigate the impact.
Handling Unknown Factors
Pain Point 5: Unknown factors account for 1.9% of marine incidents, often due to a lack of sufficient information or evidence.
Solution 5: The RVMS fosters seamless collaboration between ship and shore management, enabling them to work shoulder to shoulder in addressing unknown factors. Our system supports high-quality video calling, allowing ship crews and shore-based experts to communicate effectively in real-time. This capability ensures that expert guidance and professional directives can be shared instantly, helping to mitigate risks as they arise. The comprehensive monitoring capabilities of the RVMS ensure that all activities on board are recorded and analyzed, providing valuable insights into the ship's operations. By maintaining a detailed record of all events, the RVMS aids in thorough investigations of any incidents, ensuring that even unknown factors are eventually understood and addressed. This collaborative approach enhances safety and ensures that both ship and shore teams can respond swiftly and effectively to any emerging issues.
