A maritime safety system for detecting an object falling from a vessel 1 comprises a plurality of sensor nodes (100, Fig 2a) arranged to be installed around a periphery of the vessel, each of the plurality of sensor nodes being provided with a Radar sensor (200, Fig 2b) and a video sensor (300, Fig 2b) and a control system (400, Fig 4), arranged to receive signals from the plurality of sensor nodes and to determine if the received signals indicate a possible Man Overboard MOB event. A method of detecting a MOB event where Radar sensors are used to continuously scan regions of interest is also disclosed. When the Radar sensors indicate such an event video data is captured and displayed to a user to confirm the event.
