Abstract

A man overboard safety device (1) comprises a dispenser unit (3) for mounting on a vessel (7). A plurality of markers (9) are stored in chambers provided inside the dispenser unit (3) and are connected together by a line (11). The foremost marker (9) is connected to a primary drogue (13) stored in a dispensing tube in the dispenser unit (3). Means are provided to activate the device (1) to release the primary drogue (13) from the dispensing tube into the water. The primary drogue (13) applies a tensile force to the line (11) of markers (9), pulling the markers (9) sequentially from their storage chambers, through the dispensing tube and into the water. Once dispensed, the plurality of markers (9) form a string of markers in the water extending from the man overboard for a significant distance along the geographical track between the man overboard and the vessel (7) to indicate the position of the man overboard relative to the vessel (7).
