XII • Disclaimer
The Sea Marshall AU9 is an emergency rescue transmission device that
should only be activated as a last resort. Misuse or false activation is
unlawful and irresponsible, and could result in prosecution or penalty.
The Sea Marshall AU9 should not be relied on as the only source of man
overboard notification and the vessel owner, operator or master must
exercise common prudence and good seamanship at all times. Use of the
Sea Marshall AU9 in no way reduces liability of the vessel’s master and
crew who have the primary responsibility for safety on board.
No device is 100% fail safe nor can it guarantee safe rescue in an
emergency. When activated, the Sea Marshall AU9 is a Maritime Survivor
Locating Device transmitting on the 121.5MHz search and rescue (SAR)
frequency, but requires subsequent human interaction to acknowledge and
respond to the distress alert.
The actual time and success of rescue is therefore dependent on all these
contributing factors and as such, is outside the control of MRT.
