Abstract: A device for detecting a fall of and for geolocating a container that has gone overboard that includes an electronic box and a means for removably attaching the electronic box to an external part of the container is disclosed. The electronic box includes a means for detecting the container's fall, a control unit controlling the removable attachment means in the event of the detection of the container's fall and disconnecting the electronic box from the external part of the container, a flotation means for floating the electronic box on a stretch of water, a geolocation module, a data communication means, a means for powering the control unit, a link for maintaining a permanent connection between the electronic box and container when the box is disconnected from the container. This allows detection a container falling into the sea and to communicate its geographical position with a view to towing thereof.
