CONDITIONAL ONLINE-BASED RISK ADVISORY SYSTEM (COBRAS)
An advisory system of a vessel that monitors variables of a vessel system inclusive of systems and subsystems that are used to operate the vessel. The advisory system may use machine-learning to learn from an operator (i) whether or not two variables are related to one another, and (ii) likelihood that a variable will reach a threshold, and, optionally, time until reaching the threshold. The system may receive operator feedback (i) to indicate whether the two variables are related to one another, and (ii) whether a behavior of the variable is normal or not normal. Thereafter, if a determination that the same two variables are related to one another and behaving in a similar manner, provide notification to the operator of the behavior. In response to determining that the variable is behaving (e.g., trending) in a similar manner that is not normal, providing a notification to the operator.
Marine equipment inventory tool
A system and method for tracking marine equipment is provided. Generally, the system and method of the present disclosure are designed to generate indicia corresponding to the inventory level of marine equipment used for a particular marine activity. To facilitate the assignment of indicia reflecting the inventory level of marine equipment used for a marine activity, the system and method of the present disclosure uses a plurality of equipment profiles having a defined lower limit and quantity associated with each piece of marine equipment. The lower limit may be manually input or automatically generated. The quantity may be tracked by the system using equipment transmitters and equipment sensors. In a preferred embodiment, the indicia indicate whether the quantity of a piece of marine equipment has fallen below a certain specified level as defined by the user. Users may purchase new marine equipment from third-party retailers via the user interface.

DISTRESS ALERT SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES RELATED THERETO
Systems and processes for initiating a rescue, using peer-to-peer distress alert systems, are described. An exemplar process of initiating, from a distressed vessel, a recue includes: (i) generating an outgoing distress signal that includes a distress signal and distressed vessel location information; (ii) broadcasting the outgoing distress signal to one or more potential rescue vessels located away from the distressed vessel; (iii) receiving, from one or more of the potential rescue vessels, one or more outgoing rescue signals, each of which includes potential rescue vessel location information; (iv) of identifying, using the potential rescue vessel location information from one or more of the potential rescue vessels and vessel location information of the distressed vessel, one or more rescue potential rescue vessels that are suitable for rescuing the distress vessel; and (v) transmitting, from the distressed vessel, a confirmation rescue signal to each of the potential rescue vessels that are suitable for rescuing the distress vessel.

Building black box
A system and computer-implemented method include a wireless network hub configured to forward received sensor readings to a sensor analysis system. One or more sensor units coupled to the wireless network hub and affixed to a structure are configured to wirelessly transmit data to the wireless network hub at a first time frequency, and, in response to a detected danger to the structure, wirelessly transmit sensor readings to the wireless network hub at a second time frequency greater than the first time frequency.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING DISPLACEMENT OF AN ANCHOR
A method for determining a displacement of an anchor is provided. The method includes the steps of: determining an initial position of the anchor; and determining a displacement of the anchor. The step of determining the displacement of the anchor includes (i) measuring anchor velocity values, (ii) measuring at least one further physical quantity associated with the anchoring, (iii) deciding whether the anchor is at rest or in motion, wherein a value of the further physical quantity is taken into account in the decision, and (iv) integrating the velocity values over time during intervals when the anchor is deemed to be in motion.
