A piece of crucial maritime safety equipment designed to provide emergency escape and survival for passengers and crew during ship emergencies. Compact and inflatable, a life raft offers a buoyant haven in distress situations, equipped with essential spare parts to endure harsh conditions until rescue.
All life rafts provided on board the ship must be equipped with a painter line permanently secured to the ship.
Each life raft or group of life rafts must be equipped with hydrostatic release unit, ensuring that each life raft can float freely. If it is an inflatable raft, it should automatically inflate when the ship sinks.
The storage of life rafts should allow for the manual release of one life raft or container at a time from the securing arrangements.
Life rafts launched by a davit should be stowed within reach of the davit hook unless some transfer device is provided to ensure that they can be operated within the required limits of inclination or during ship motion or power failure.
Life rafts used for throw overboard launching should be stowed on both sides of the ship to facilitate easy transfer for launching.
