Extensively effective: the easyRESCUE-PRO with AIS and DSC distress call

Weatherdock's easyRESCUE-PRO has two beating hearts to make future rescue operations even faster and more effective. In addition to the AIS alarm, a DSC distress call is made in parallel.

The AIS alarm can be received by all AIS systems in the immediate vicinity of the casualty in addition to the vessel itself. The position is updated every minute and transmitted with the current course and speed (SOG + COG). The DSC distress call is initially sent in a "closed loop" to up to 8 vessels whose MMSI numbers have been programmed in advance using the free Weatherdock app via Bluetooth. If there is no confirmation within 10 minutes, there is an automatic switch to the "open loop" and an "all ships call" is sent to the GMDSS rescue chain as an official distress call.

Two systems - one common goal: fast and effective rescue!

 

 

Function

Upon activation, the easyRESCUE-PRO unit starts transmitting AIS signals via VHF frequencies, providing
the current GPS position along with COG, SOG and individual unit ID. The victim‘s position is updated every minute and transmitted 8 times per minute for at least 96 hours. As a result the vessels crew will know exactly where the victim is, as well as every other ship with an AIS receiver within range.

When the easyRESCUE-PRO‘s AIS message is received, it triggers an alarm on every AIS chart plotter with a worldwide standarized symbol. With accurate GPS data, a search-and-rescue can initiated much faster.
Upon activation, in addition a DSC distress call is sent automatically to the own ship of the victim or further
7 ones with preprogrammed MMSI. Once the „closed loop“ has been sent to the own vessel and there has
been no acknowledgement for 10 minutes, an „open loop DSC distress call“ to every DSC receiver within
range will be triggered.

„Open loop“ transmission will be relayed to the coast guard by commercial vessels. If there is an acknowledgement on DSC in the „closed loop“ or by a commercial vessel in „open loop“, DSC transmissions by easyRESCUE-PRO are terminated. In the meantime AIS messages are of course still send until the unit is is completely switched off.
