MoB Rescue NeT
Fast - Simple - Lifesaving
What is the MoB Rescue Net?
The WaTS MoB Rescue Net is a compact, effective man overboard rescue net designed for commercial fishing vessels and boats of all sizes. It provides a practical man overboard recovery system that allows a single crew member to recover a person from the water safely and efficiently, without lifting equipment or extra crew.
The rescue net is designed to stay ready for immediate deployment and gives stable support for the person being recovered, whether they’re conscious or unconscious. Built from durable, marine-grade materials, it’s hard-wearing, simple to use, and a valuable addition to any vessel’s marine safety equipment and fishing vessel safety kit.
How It Works
Step 1 - Deployment
The rescuer lowers the net into the water using a weighted rope system. This ensures the net quickly reaches and spreads at water level beside the person in distress, without requiring the rescuer to enter the water.
Step 2 - Position the Casualty
The person in the water is guided or floats into the open net, which stays suspended in the water by a stabilising frame. The rescuer holds the vertical pole upright, allowing the net to cradle the casualty horizontally, helping to keep their airway clear of the water and minimising risk of shock or injury.
Step 3 - Recovery
Once the casualty is secure, the rescuer pulls on the retrieval ropes. This action rolls the net and the person inside up and out of the water, either over the gunwale or up onto the deck, depending on vessel height and configuration.
