Multiple reports describe a new cruise-ship safety system designed to detect when passengers fall overboard. The system is reported to be called ZOE and uses AI to identify incidents involving both adults and children. According to the sources, ZOE can detect a person falling into the water from a cruise ship within about four seconds. The reports also say the system can operate effectively in low-light conditions, including darkness, implying that it is intended to alert crews quickly even when visual conditions are poor. The information is presented as a technological “guardian” approach for cruise operations, focusing on faster detection to support timely rescue and response. Both sources provide the same core claims: the system’s name, its target users (adults and children), the approximate detection time window, and its ability to function in darkness. No additional details are included in the provided excerpts about how ZOE works technically, which ships or operators have adopted it, or results from independent testing.
