System Activation and control
The interface is essential and intuitive. Upon activation, the system presents a first key operational choice: setting the inflation point, bow or stern, based on where the damage has occurred on the vessel.
Once the procedure starts, an audible signal confirms system activation, while the display allows real time monitoring of the airbag inflation percentage until the operation is complete.
At the end of the process, the system confirms activation and recommends contacting Channel 16 for assistance at sea.
At the same time, automatic notifications are sent to the emergency contacts designated by the owner via SMS with updated GPS position, creating a safety network that extends beyond the vessel itself.
Once activated, Sea Fend helps maintain the vessel’s stability, providing precious time to manage the emergency and secure the crew.
The system is a buoyancy support aid and does not replace standard safety procedures, which always remain the priority.
Depending on the extent of the damage and operating conditions, return to port can happen independently or with assistance and towing to the nearest harbor.
