The vessel’s overboard detection system revealed that something had gone overboard

Whut? Sounds like something that is prone to lots of spurious false alarms, if it's only consulted some HOURS after a supposed 'overboard' event.

SICK provides sensors that can be installed on a detection system that help locate the exact position of the missing person quickly, which is crucial for a successful rescue operation. Thanks to the sensors, the system detects the location and sends this information to the rescue team in real time triggering an alarm.

When the MRS6000 3D LiDAR sensors are installed, the products can scan a defined area around a ship. When a defined object falls through the scan area, the ship crew is notified via an alarm. The crew can then watch the video recordings and take immediate action.

In addition, the MRS6000 sensors can prevent faulty alarms by blanking out spray, waves and birds, for example. The system can be used for a variety of applications including commercial and passenger ships as well as yachts, oil platforms and bridges.

Was immediate action not taken, once the overboard detector went off? Some systems alert a mobile pad at "maximum volume" until it is told that a search has been started.
