Alert & Find OLAS Background

​

The OLAS system uses Alert and Find technology to create a portable crew tracking and overboard location alert system.

​

In an MOB situation OLAS will sound an alarm and record the latitude and longitude of the incident using the phone or tablets GPS.

​

In the event that the skipper or a crew member has gone overboard OLAS helps direct the remaining crew on a successful MOB recovery and communication with emergency services

​

NOTE: The OLAS app will direct back to the last known alert GPS position, recorded by the mobile device when the incident occurred. The OLAS app does not live track the OLAS tags location after the connection has broken.  The OLAS tag is not a GPS transmitter.
