"The safety of all our crew is paramount and we strive to maintain an excellent safety record. Regardless of how unlikely it is that a pilot falls overboard, we recognise that the risk is there and how serious the consequences could be, so we have implemented the carrying of the Crewsafe V100 by all our pilots as part of our risk mitigation strategy. The entire team appreciates the value that the automated alert and transmitted GPS coordinates offer in ensuring they will be quickly located in the water if they find themselves overboard and are content to wear the V100 integrated into their PFD." - Todd Sinclair, OH&S manager for Darwin Port Corporation |

"Helicopter transfers, vessel transport to and from platforms or work vessels and support craft, working at height or over the side of a rig all pose specific, serious risks to employees. Add in poor weather conditions, sea survival situations and abandonment and lives are at serious risk without the proper training of how to react and survive in the event of an emergency. Our Maritime/Offshore and Aviation/Helicopter courses have been adapted to include training on the features and use of the Crewsafe V100 as a personal maritime survivor locating device because in our opinion, it offers the best chances of being found, and found alive, in a man overboard or abandonment situation." - Rick Parish, CEO M&O Global |
| "Having worked in Marine operations for over 24 years I feel Crewsafe has massive potential to save lives. There are numerous safety devices on vessels but none of these will notify operational staff when someone is in the water, unless they are noticed at the time. Logically there is more chance of someone falling in than a commercial vessel sinking.
When working offshore my main concern was losing a crewman over the side and not knowing they had been lost. I personally have never lost people but I have been involved in search and rescue operations in Shark Bay and in the Gulf of Carpentaria. In both cases the crewman fell over the side and was not missed for several hours. The crewman in Shark Bay was never found despite over 40 vessels looking for him for 2 days and the fisherman in the gulf was found 14 hours later. At the time you can only imagine what they must gone through and how easily this can happen to anyone on a wet deck of a moving vessel. Over the past 8 years I have managed the RIO ports for Pilbara Iron in Dampier, these berths accommodates ship of between 100,000 dwt and 250,000 dwt and undertook 980 ship moves in 2007 alone. Safety concerns include when staff are working in isolation at our berths as well as safety of shipping agents, pilots, customs and AQIS staff who arrive in the dead of night and go up ships gangways that can be unstable. I would strongly support the implementation of this system and I feel that we would be negligent in not looking at how we could install a system like this at our terminals or on our tugs. I have arranged for key HSE staff to see this system and this may open the door for BHP Billiton to consider installation. Given the risks of working in marine, I feel Crewsafe sells itself and would reduce the risks for staff working over water in a tidal port. - Julian Carr-White, Marine Strategy Advisor BHP Billiton Iron Ore
