Maritime Questions › Safety & Emergency
Your vessel carries a single EPIRB for the whole crew, but no individual Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs). What's the practical gap this leaves?
A. None — an EPIRB covers every crew member equally well
B. An EPIRB is fitted to the vessel and may not activate promptly, or at all, if the vessel sinks or a crew member ends up separated from it in the water — a PLB stays with the individual person, not the vessel
C. PLBs are only useful for solo/single-handed vessels
D. PLBs and EPIRBs serve entirely unrelated purposes
