The tragic event of Man-Overboard is one of the major causes of harm to life. To combat with such a dangerous situation we have proposed a simple system that can be installed and run onboard any ship with minimum maintenance and cost. The mentioned system comprises of a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag and the RFID readers. The tags collect energy from a nearby RFID reader's interrogating radio waves and the reader passes a signal which can be used to detect the person falling overboard. Basic principle is that when a man with a Tag falls overboard, by falling down, his tag would cross the RFID reader and would pass a signal to the security system. Safety is always given priority so by using RFID tags accidents can be reduced to a greater extent as the detection capability of this system is very accurate.
