The Vantage POB System
Vantage POB (Person on Board) is an internet based tracking tool that is being increasingly used by operators, drilling companies, helicopter operators, and Cogent across the UK waters.

What Does It Do?
Vantage POB holds up to date information e.g.expiry date, supplied by employers about offshore worker's survival training records, medical cerificates, trip history, and asset inductions. In the future it may hold details of other important competencies. This provides an electronic safety filter to ensure everyone travelling offshore has sucessfully completed the proper training.
Additionally, Vantage POB holds details of persons to contact in case of an emergency.

How Do I Use It?
Each time you check in, show your card to the check in clerk.

How Do I Get A Vantage Card?
Vantage ID Cards are available from the main UK offshore departure points. If you don't have one the check-in clerk will arrange for you to get one. If you have one of the "old style" cards keep using it, they are still valid and will continue to be valid for some time yet. There is no charge made to the individual for your card, or for a replacement should you loose it.

What Does The Card Look Like?
The card is the size of a credit card and contains your picture, your Vantage ID number (both written and in bar code form) and a couple of logos.
