CardiAngel

in Waterway Vessels & Ports

Maritime environments—whether on inland ferries, commercial vessels, cruise ships, or port terminals—pose unique challenges when sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs. Limited access to emergency medical services makes it essential to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) on board or on site. CardiAngel AED provides reliable, fast-response defibrillation for vessel crews, passengers, and port personnel alike.

In high-traffic maritime environments like container ports and ferry terminals, emergency response delays are common. CardiAngel AEDs offer immediate shock delivery, regulatory compliance, and rugged durability to protect workers exposed to heat, physical strain, and isolation from medical services

Why AEDs Are Essential in Maritime Settings?

  • Delayed Access to Medical Help: Whether at sea or on remote docks, waiting for EMS may not be an option, immediate on-site action is critical.

  • High Passenger and Crew Volume: Ferries, ships, and port areas often host hundreds to thousands of people daily, increasing the likelihood of cardiac emergencies.

  • Exertion, Stress & Heat Exposure: Physical labor, long hours, and environmental stressors may elevate cardiac risk for maritime workers.

  • Regulatory Compliance for Marine Safety: Many international maritime and port authorities recommend or require AEDs under occupational safety regulations.

  • Strengthens Operational Readiness: Having an AED available ensures teams are equipped to act quickly in emergencies, maintaining professional and safety-focused operations.​

Why CardiAngel Is Ideal for Watercraft & Port Facilities?

  • IP55-Rated for Dust and Water Resistance: Built to withstand humid, salty, and outdoor port environments with protection against water spray and airborne particles.

  • Compact and Easy to Store: Fits into confined bridge spaces, medical lockers, or wall-mounted cabinets near gangways and control rooms.

  • Rapid Shock Delivery: Short analysis-to-shock time supports immediate intervention during critical minutes at sea or onshore.

  • Automatic Self-Checks: Ensures the device is always ready with minimal crew oversight, ideal for long voyages or 24/7 port operation.

  • Multilingual Voice Prompts: Suitable for international crews and travelers with diverse language backgrounds.

  • Fits Limited Space Installations: Compact profile allows mounting in wheelhouses, engine rooms, or corridor walls without interfering with workflow.​

In watercraft, offshore rigs, and industrial ports, CardiAngel's compact, IP55-rated design ensures reliable performance despite exposure to humidity, salt, and limited space. With automatic self-checks and multilingual audio prompts, it's ideal for 24/7 operations and international crews.

Where to Place CardiAngel AEDs?

  • Passenger Terminals & Waiting Lounges: Areas where travelers wait for boarding, such as ferry terminals or water taxi stations, should have AEDs accessible for both passengers and staff.

  • Onboard Vessels: Bridge or captain’s cabin, crew quarters, passenger lounges, and cafeteria areas.

  • Cargo & Commercial Ships: Engine control rooms, crew areas, mess halls, and maintenance zones.

  • Port Authority Offices & Control Centers: Security checkpoints, logistics offices, and emergency response hubs.

  • Docking & Loading Areas: Loading bays, cranes, or storage warehouses.

  • Shuttle Boats & Water Taxis: Driver’s cabin or under passenger seats.
