Abstract: Collisions of fishing vessels with other ships or boats have been one of the most serious threats to the marine industry today. Fishing vessels stranded do not receive any information about approaching obstacles due to a lack of adequate communication devices. One of the reasons for my suggested project's existence is to prevent collisions between commercial fleet and fishing smack and fishing vessels. And there aren't any adequate mechanisms in place to warn fishing vessels in order to prevent collisions, incidents continue to occur and go unseen. There seem to not be any better communication mechanisms in place to warn the exterior world in the event of an accident. Hence, a LIDAR sensor is employed to detect the approaching ships or entities and notifies the staffs of the watercraft employing a buzzer sound and a display message at the LCD stating, “Obstacle detected†at Captains Bridge as first stage. But that, as second stage if a disaster occurs, then the mishap sensing system which has a vibration sensor for detecting the crash happened between the obstacles and vessel are going to be reported to the rescue team at nearby coastal area together with GPS location and boat details using Arduino UNO where it's processed and send a message using the GSM module. For sudden rescue a buzzer is attached to achieve attention from neighboring waterborne vessels sailing at hand to accident area. Hence, we are able to safeguard marine activities with none harm to the human kind also as living beings within the ocean that helps in early rescue.
