In this video, I would like to describe liferaft constructuions, survival equipment and how to use them. I'll describe the purpose of a life raft interior and exterior parts, such as buoyancy chambers and ballast water pockets etc.
We'll discuss the liferaft inflation, canopy design, and various SOLAS requirements for liferaft constructions.
We'll discuss liferaft equipment with explanation of each item. From survival rations to the quantity of drinking water. From liferaft pyrotechnics to the usage of a daylight signaling mirror. We'll cover everything.
If you watch until the end, you will become familiar with SOLAS and LSA Code requirements for life rafts as a professional Ship Safety Officer.
This video will be useful for those who are just planning to start their career at sea, for the ratings, for cadets, as well as for those who are already preparing for a junior officer / third mate position.
