The U.S. Coast Guard tweeted this morning: “A 36-year-old lady’s physique was recovered from the water roughly 18 miles offshore Port Canaveral Thursday morning after she went overboard the cruise ship Meraviglia. The reason for the incident is underneath investigation.”
MSC Cruises launched an announcement earlier at this time that the ship’s “superior detection programs” alerted workers to an overboard passenger. MSC Cruises acknowledged that “Sadly, regardless of the fast rescue operation, the passenger sustained deadly accidents.”

MSC Cruises is among the only a few accountable cruise traces which have put in automated man overboard (MOB) programs (on at the least this ship). MOB programs instantly ship a visible and audio sign which alerts the bridge that an individual has gone over the rails in order that the ship can promptly start emergency rescue efforts. The know-how makes use of video, movement detection and radar programs to document the one who goes overboard from the ship. It additionally detects and tracks the individual within the water, even at evening.
We now have criticized MSC up to now as a result of crew members and passengers have disappeared from MSC ships with out such a know-how.
In 2017, we reported that MSC Cruises introduced that it had put in a state-of-the-art man overboard system on the MSC Meraviglia and is planning to deploy comparable programs throughout its fleet of cruise ships.
MSC Cruises indicated that it developed an “clever video capturing and evaluation system” in collaboration with “safety know-how consultants, Bosch and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.” The Swiss-based cruise line introduced that it has examined the brand new man overboard system on the corporate’s latest ship which debuted in June (2017). MSC reported that “by means of over 25,000 hours of video evaluation, intensive software program testing and steady algorithmic updates, the system has now reached a confirmed accuracy degree of 97%.”
The MOB knowledge and pictures are analyzed by two separate and unbiased picture processing programs which considerably decrease false alerts. “As soon as the alarm is activated in case of an overboard, an acoustic sign and light-weight will notify the ship’s safety officer, in a central safety room, who can instantly retrieve and evaluation the photographs and knowledge and instantly notify the bridge to start rescue efforts,” in response to Seatrade Cruise Information.”MSC Cruises introduced MSC Meraviglia is fitted with an built-in video surveillance system to optimize safety monitoring on board the ship and which can permit, amongst different options, for the speediest intervention within the unlikely occasion an individual or object falls overboard.”
Sadly. MSC Cruises says (in an announcement under per FOX13) that the lady on this newest overboard case sustained “deadly accidents,” apparently from the autumn:
“Early this morning, MSC Meraviglia superior detection programs alerted our crew to a passenger overboard whereas the ship was crusing to Port Canaveral. The crew carried out an instantaneous search and rescue operation, alongside the US Coast Guard who supported search efforts with boats and a helicopter.
Sadly, regardless of the fast rescue operation, the passenger sustained deadly accidents. We’re providing our full assist to authorities as they examine this matter.
We’re deeply saddened by this incident and provide our sincerest condolences to the household and people affected.”

We aren’t conscious whether or not MSC Cruises has put in comparable MOB programs on different ships in its fleet. To our information, Disney Cruises is the one different cruise line to put money into the MOB know-how.
In keeping with Cruise skilled Dr. Ross Klein, 375 individuals have gone overboard within the final 25 years or so. On November 24, a 28 year-old man went overboard from the Carnival Valor however was rescued over 21 hours later. Simply yesterday, a 23 yr previous lady from P&O Cruises (Australia) Pacific Explorer went overboard and was recovered useless over 7 hours later. Neither certainly one of these Carnival Corp-owned ships hasMOB programs put in.
