Build the recovery path

Five jobs. One crew-overboard plan.

Start with equipment the person in the water can reach, then add what helps the crew stay connected, bring them alongside, and get them back aboard.

Stay attached

Three locking hooks let the crew change connection points while the load indicator makes a shock-loaded tether easy to identify.

MOB recovery questions

Is a boarding ladder enough for crew-overboard recovery?

No. A ladder only helps if the person can reach and climb it. Match recovery gear to freeboard, crew strength, and the lifejacket/tether system actually used aboard.

Where should emergency boarding gear be mounted?

Put it where a person in the water can deploy or reach it. Test the location from the water, not only from the dock.
