Why Emerald Marine Products?

• ALERTS IN SECONDS

  When every second counts in a man-overboard rescue, the Emerald Marine Products’ ALERT system instantaneously alarms the vessel upon hitting water. This immediate alarm provides the crew the critical time needed for a successful man-overboard rescue. Unlike AIS, the response of the ALERT System is immediate. There is no lag time connecting with satellites, and there is no reliance on another product to turn on our automatic water-activated alerting device.

• SIMPLE TO USE, AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED

  The automatic water-activated ALERT Transmitter easily attaches to a Personal Flotation Device. It is extremely light and small, making it easy to set it and forget it. There are no antennas or complicated set-up to get in the way of everyday activity.

• WIRED FOR ENGINE KILL

  For Singlehanders and Solo Fisherman, the ALERT System can be wired to the boat engine. In the event that someone falls overboard, the ALERT System can shut down the engine, giving the man-overboard the opportunity to get back to the vessel.

• EXTEND ALERT

  Our ALERT2 and ALERT418 Receivers have contacts at the back of the unit that allow for connecting additional alerting capabilities. Extend a fall overboard alarm by sending the alert to external sirens, strobes, cell phones, marine radios, and even internal networks. Our customers are very creative in the use of our alerting products to make all rescue resources available at a moment’s notice. Contact us for further information.

• AFFORDABLE

  The ALERT Man-Overboard Alarm System is the lowest priced commercial grade fall overboard alarm system on the market. Over a three year period, it only costs $1 per day to protect a life. With more crew members, it costs even less per person. Systems have been in use for an average of five years, saving lives everyday.

• MADE IN THE USA, USED AROUND THE WORLD

  Emerald Marine Products have been manufactured to exact industrial specifications made with high quality materials in the USA since 1996. The ALERT Man-Overboard Alarm System has been protecting hundreds of ships and locations around the world for over 25 years.

Who is protected with the Emerald Marine ALERT products?

• TOW, TUG AND BARGE

  

  The ALERT Man-Overboard Alarm System protects crewmembers who ply the swift coastal and inland waters. “Wearing the ALERT2 gives me a real sense of security” has been echoed by employees of major towboat companies. As a member of the American Waterways Operators organization, Emerald Marine Products understands the dangerous yet vital activities of people working the Tow and Tug Industry. We design our products to function in these demanding environments.

• DREDGING, MARINE CONSTRUCTION AND MARINE TERMINAL

  

  Maybe your employees aren’t on boats, but they work dangerously close to water. Water that could sweep them out of sight or, in cold weather, send them into shock and restrict their muscles within minutes. The ALERT Man-Overboard Alarm System protects employees working near water on dredging, marine construction, or terminal operations. The ALERT Receiver can be mounted in the office or wired to communicate via an auto-dialer of HF Radio to immediately alert rescue operations of a fall-overboard situation.

• RESEARCH VESSELS

  Though a ship has its safety procedures, sometimes people on vessels are not as savvy about working near water as experienced crew. The ALERT Man-Overboard Alarm System is easily worn by visitors or scientists who are aboard research vessels. If a person loses their balance and falls overboard, the ALERT System instantly notifies the vessel for a quick and successful rescue.

• COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN

  Lore and TV Shows showcase the danger involved in making a living as a commercial fisherman. The ALERT Man-Overboard Alarm System protects crews and solo fishermen who wear the lightweight and durable Transmitter. This device is automatically activated in the event of a fall-overboard, and its Spray-Tight Pouch will protect from false alarms when working in wet conditions. Should a simple mistake take a person over the side of a boat, the ALERT System will instantly notify the vessel.

• MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT VESSELS

  Law enforcement officials operate in high stake and fast-acting environments on the water. It is critical to protect these officials, so they feel confident moving quickly onboard. The ALERT Man-Overboard Alarm System is easy to set up and seamlessly attached to any PFD. The Alert System provides extra confidence and security, making it possible for law enforcement officials to focus on the task at hand.

• SINGLEHANDER AND BLUE WATER VOYAGER

  When sailing or motoring alone or with a small crew, it’s imperative that in the event of a fall-overboard the engine can stop, or at a minimum alert someone to the fall-overboard. It’s the precious seconds upon immersion that is the life-saving difference between the ALERT System and AIS or range dynamic systems. ALERT products have also been used to protect children and animals while under motor in recreational vessels.
