Two industry leading Australian workboat operators, Bhagwan Marine and Neptune Marine have recently placed multiple vessel orders for the supply of Mobilarm's revolutionary new crew safety solutions for offshore applications. The Mobilarm V100 Digital PLB and Mobilarm Crewsafe, both of which can be found on the Mobilarm stand at Offshore Europe 2009, are designed using innovative technology to provide enhanced personal safety in the event of a man overboard incident and in the case of Crewsafe, a scalable safety and security platform with 24/7 crew monitoring.

"Crew safety is critical in all maritime industries but these latest orders reflect the fact that offshore oil and gas is one of the primary segments that may benefit from improved man overboard alerting and location, and continuous crew monitoring," comments Mobilarm CEO, Lindsay Lyon. "We're please to be able to announce the deliveries to Bhagwan and Neptune at Offshore Europe, especially as this is the first time that we have shown both V100 and Crewsafe to the North Sea offshore industry."

Bhagwan Marine, an operator that is publicly committed to the safety of the crew aboard its workboats operating in the Western Australia offshore oil and gas sector has commenced installation of Crewsafe on three vessels and will continue a fleet-wide rollout. It was chosen primarily to provide an extra level of safety during machinery and crew transfers and because it fulfils the strict industry safety standards within the offshore oil and gas industry.
