US Electric LLC takes pride in delivering solutions prioritizing safety, compliance, and excellence. Our recent project aboard the M/V Jean Anne, operated by The Pasha Group, is a testament to our expertise and commitment to the maritime industry. Over five days, our skilled team installed a comprehensive SASH/CCTV system on this fully enclosed roll-on/roll-off vessel, ensuring it meets the Safer Seas Act (SSA) requirements.
Rising to the Challenge of Compliance
The Safer Seas Act, enacted in December 2022, introduced significant changes to how vessels address sexual assault and sexual harassment (SASH) incidents. A key component of the act is the mandatory installation of video and audio surveillance systems on certain vessels to enhance safety and accountability.
We ensured that every aspect of the M/V Jean Anne’s surveillance system complied with these requirements:
Cameras were strategically placed to monitor all stateroom doors and passageways continuously.
High-resolution video and noise-canceling audio technology were installed for clear, discernible recordings under any lighting conditions.
Signage was added in accessible areas to inform crew members about the surveillance system.
Our team conducted a detailed engineering review to guarantee compliance and precision throughout the installation.
Overcoming Challenges at Sea
Every project presents unique challenges, and this one was no exception. Working aboard an active vessel, our team faced the complexities of retrofitting existing systems while selecting the most efficient cable routes.
Despite these obstacles, our technicians demonstrated resilience, completing the project efficiently and maintaining the high standards our clients expect. These challenges only strengthened our resolve and showcased our ability to adapt under pressure.
Delivering Results That Matter
The completed SASH/CCTV system provides significant benefits:
Enhanced Safety: The presence of surveillance systems deters inappropriate behavior, creating a safer environment for the crew.
Improved Accountability: Continuous monitoring ensures activities in critical areas are documented, promoting transparency and trust.
Regulatory Compliance: Meeting the SSA’s requirements ensures The Pasha Group remains proactive in fostering safety and accountability.
Lessons Learned for Future Success
One key takeaway from this project was the importance of detailed documentation during the initial ship check. This meticulous approach allowed us to plan efficiently and execute seamlessly despite unexpected challenges. As we continue to deliver solutions for SASH/CCTV compliance, these lessons will guide us in maintaining our reputation for excellence.
