Markus Overboard Rescue Nets MS.05 to MS.30 - Markusnets in Red PVC Container - Markusnet MS SOLAS - LR Type Approved Man Overboard

The MarkusNet is a rescue device that enables one person to react immediately and effectively to a man overboard situation along a ship side or quay. It enables rescuers to lift the victim in seconds, despite the freeboard height of the vessel, thereby greatly decreasing the level of danger — this man overboard (MOB) rescue net can also be used with a crane. The MarkusNet type MS is mandatory equipment on decked vessels in several countries. The MOB net is also standard equipment in all harbors in Iceland and is now the model for international standards. This rapid deployment MOB equipment provides the ability to lift/hoist crew while standing or siting in the net, it can also be used to lift/hoist unconscious crew in a horizontal position.

Knots on lifting lines

Knots on the lifting lines are spaced every 50 cm, allowing up to four people to assist in lifting a casualty weighing up to 120 kg. These knots provide a secure grip, enabling rescuers to focus their strength on lifting rather than gripping the rope. For single-handed rescues, the weight can be split between the lines. By fastening each line and hoisting one metre at a time, rescuers can manage the lift more efficiently. An average casualty weighs 80–110 kg when lifted from the sea. With the knots' support, one person can realistically manage 50–60 kg manually.
