ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a marine recovery system comprising the following features:a chart plotter (1)a position sensor (10) arranged for displaying the vessel's (2) position (2N,2E) in said chart plotter (1);a position receiver (21) for other vessels' (221, 222, . . . ) or objects (24) position (23N,23E) and possibly their identity, and for displaying them in said chart section (4);an pointing camera unit (3) for directing a stabilized main axis (31) towards a target (5) in or by the sea, and arranged for calculating the target's position (5N,5E),a camera image (45) for being displayed in said chart plotter (1) with an aiming circle (55) representing said stabilized main axis (31), and for moving said camera image (45) to a new desired position (53N,53E) in said chart section (4);an identification unit (7) connected to the pointing unit (3) arranged to select and assign to said target (5) a class (51) and for storing said assigned class (51) and said target's (5) position (53N,53E) as an object (24) with a stored position (58N,58E) in a second memory (82) for display as symbols (22s) in said chart plotter (1).
