Definitions

  • the invention relates to a monitoring device for monitoring goods, in particular goods transported in transport containers, with a base body that can be arranged on the goods, in particular the transport container, a floating body, which is detachably arranged on the base body by means of a decoupling device and is permanently connected to the base body via a connecting means Base body is connected, wherein the floating body is locked to the base body by means of the decoupling device in a first operating state and is released from the base body in a second operating state, the second operating state being activated in the event of the monitoring device falling overboard during sea transport, a condition monitoring unit with an in the position monitoring unit arranged on the floating body, which has a receiver for receiving signals from a navigation satellite system, and a transmission unit arranged in the floating body, which is connected to the condition monitoring unit in a data-conducting manner.
  • Such monitoring devices for monitoring goods are known from the prior art. They are regularly used to enable the goods to be located in the event of goods or transport containers falling overboard. This makes it possible to recover the goods if necessary and to ensure that environmental hazards are avoided. In particular, containers floating on or near the water surface pose a high risk of collision for ships.
  • Known monitoring devices typically have a base body that can be arranged on a product or a container and a base body connected to it via a line Floating body connected to the base body.
  • the floating body can be separated from the base body by means of a decoupling device if the goods or container are detected as falling overboard.
  • Such monitoring devices are available, for example DE 4431683 A1 or off EP 0 672 919 A2 known.
  • the disadvantage of the described prior art is that the devices often have an inadequate cost-benefit ratio, since goods falling overboard is a comparatively rare event and the monitoring device is otherwise passive on the goods or the container is arranged. This is one of the reasons why the systems in question have not been able to establish themselves on a large scale.
  • a further disadvantage is that the generation of false alarms has occasionally been observed and the maintenance or operational readiness test is often complex.
