About VIMMS
The Vessel Impact and Motion Monitoring System (VIMMS) is designed as a direct response to the maritime industry’s requirement to monitor crew and vessel levels of shock and vibration on both crew and vessels during operations in waves and at high speeds.
VIMMS includes a helm unit and two remote sensors for measuring accelerations on the vessel structure and at the drivers seat, with extra sensors added for measuring other positions if required.
The twin LED display provides real time data for the driver to understand the impact of their driving, and to slow down or alter course to reduce the effects of repeated shocks and whole body vibration on crew and passengers.
If the maximum limit is exceeded, the top LED stays lit and requires a supervisor PIN number to reset the display.
Data is uploaded to the VIMMS Management Console, providing a complete overview of operations and ongoing exposure of the crew and vessel to vibration and repeated shocks.
VIMMS Pro Portal
Data is accessed through the VIMMS Console providing detailed information on daily operations, and a long term overview of the entire fleet. Key metrics make it simple to maintain operational oversight, maximising productivity and increasing wellbeing of staff.
With managers making data driven decisions and forecasting potential issues, VIMMS increases safety and provides an organisation with a cost effective tool to increase their duty of care and meet regulatory targets.
Incorporating Microsoft AI technologies, the VIMMS Console provides insight on the differences in performance across the fleet and promotes collaborative learning to reduce risk and increase efficiency.

Case Studies
Safari Trip INjury
Following an accident by passenger with an undisclosed health issue, Torquay Watersports used data from VIMMS to prove to the authorities that the injury was not caused by the skippers actions.
