Rescue boat
 Life-
boats:

partially totally
free-fall
enclosed enclosed
 Partially enclosed
life-boat:

is lighter than is lowered using a

totally enclosed simultaneous release
lifting hook

is more easily
accessible in case of sides are closed
emergency with foldable cover
 Totally enclosed
life-boat:

 is made of steel, aluminum or fire-resistant material;

 red and orange colours are used
 is provided with a door to allow passengers to board it
and with small windows that can be opened to let in fresh
air ;
 saves the lifeboats passengers from sea water, rough
weather or strong winds;
 have the ability to get upright position;
 they do not require manual power to propel the lifeboat
forward as it is fitted with an engine.
 Free – Fall Lifeboat:
is a type of totally enclosed lifeboat
must be painted in international
is made of glass-reinforced plastic;
bright orange color;

is carried at the stern

the boat slides quickly out from a hits the water bow first well away
ramp onboard installation; from the ship;

rapid evacuation in emergencies

crewmembers are securely All crewmembers are provided with
strapped with a harness; an inflatable life-jacket;
 Life
rafts:

Marine
Evacuation Davit – launched Throw overboard
System (MES) life-raft life-raft

- Auto release with Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU)

- Manually launching
- Launching by Davits.
 Marine
Evacuation
System (MES)

 an inflatable inclined evacuation slide;

 a large capacity inflatable life-raft (canopied or open
reversible);
 a lightweight stowage cradle manufactured in marine grade
aluminum;
 provide rapid and safe evacuation which delivers
passengers and crew, directly into large capacity life-rafts.
 Davit –
launched life-
raft.

 it is enclosed in fiberglass containers;

 When the life-raft in the container it is secured by hydrostatic
release unit;
 it is lowered into the water from davit on board the ship;
 it is kept the crewmembers dry;
 such launching requires great skills and experience.
 Throw
overboard life-
raft

 it is stowed in the container;

 it is designed to thrown over the board;
 it is easy to launch and also during emergencies;
 it inflates itself automatically as soon as it comes in contact
with seawater;
 it has the disadvantage that the crewmembers may have to
enter the water before getting into the raft
 Rescue boat

 it is a davit-launched boat;
 the boat may be of either rigid or
inflated construction or a
combination of both;
 it is a semi-rigid structure with
the inflated chambers of an
upper and an outboard engine;
 the major problem is launching
and recovery.
 Watch some videos about different procedures of
launching life-boats, life-rafts and rescue boats. Then
discuss it with the teacher.
 Pyrotechnic
Distress Signals

Pyrotechnic:

 is an illuminating distress signal;

 people use the pyrotechnics when they are in grave or
imminent danger ;
 when they require immediate assistance.
 Types of
pyrotechnics
available on board
ships

 Light & Smoke Signal

 Red Hand-flare
 Red Parachute Signal Rocket
 Smoke Signal Orange
 Day & Night Signal
 Orange Hand-smoke
 White Hand-flare
 Study following definitions :
 Light and smoke signal : used in emergency to mark position of man
overboard. And it is produced dense orange smoke

 Red Hand flare: use for safe operation and saves space when stowed in
life-rafts. A hand flare is a small stick which when activated, produces
an intense red smoke or light without an explosion.

 Rocket parachute signal : Designed to withstand exceptional

environmental exposure and to perform reliably even after immersion
in water It self-activates in the air at minimum height of 300m, and
produces intense red smoke.
 Study following definitions :
 Smoke signal orange : It provides effective position marking during
rescue operations and can be used to indicate wind direction.

 Day & night signal : compact, handheld distress signal consisting of

a red flare at one end and an orange smoke in the other.

 Orange hand-smoke : hand- held signal produces a dense orange

smoke for daylight distress signaling and wind direction indication.

 White hand-flare : designed for use as a collision warning signal or

for illuminating small areas where an intense white light is required.
