TYPES OF LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES

Life saving appliances found abroad ships include following

• Life boats
• Life rafts
• Life jackets
• Pyrotechnics
• Line throwing apparatus
• Emergency radios
• Life buoy

1. Lifeboats

Life boats are the most basic and man dated equipment on board .It is a small rigid and
inflatable boat carried for emergency evacuation in the event of disaster abroad a ship .
Procedure for launching
• Uncover the lifeboats
• Release the electro cable
• Screw the drain plug
• Release grips
• Release boat David stopper
• Release hand rail
• Lower the embarkation ladder

 2. Life rafts
It is a small rigid or inflatable boat carried for emergency evacuation in the
event of disaster abroad a ship .
PROCEDURE FOR LAUNCHING

• Thrown container over board

• Sharply pull the rope

• Jump overboard and swim into the raft

• Help others, throwing them a life buoy of equipment set

• With knife cut the tether

• With the paddle quickly row away from the vessel

3.Lifejackets
Life jacket is a sleeveless jacket made up of buoyant or inflatable material used to
keep human body afloat in water . Two popular type of life jackets used onboard
are inflatable life life jacket this jacket need inflation for buoyancy
And it automatically inflated when immersed in water
Procedure for launching

• Button up life jackets

• Button up the side straps
• Button up zipper and klickverschluss
• Make sure that the life jackets does not rub the neck chin underarms does not
slipup when trying to pull the other person for the other persons for the shoulder
straps

4. pyrotechnics
It is the distress flares used at the time of abandoning the ship or used in
survival crafts which produces visual signals (lights or smoke signals ) to
attract attention to other crafts at sea
Types of pyrotechnics available onboard ships
• Hand flares
• Rocket parachute flare

• Buoyant smoke signal

5. Line throwing apparatus
Line throwing apparatus is a self contained rocket powered line throwing unit
designed for ship to ship and ship to shore operation as well as for the rescue
of people in distress in sea
Procedure for launching
• Remove the front cover and point the desired flight direction
• Pull out safety pin
• Aim over the top of target
• Turn grip to left of right to fire

6.Emergency radios
Survival radios are radios for communication which helps ships and ships
crews during emergencies . A survival radios forms one of the most essential
parts of survival tools of marine industry . The emergency radio is approved
internationally under the global maritime distress safety system . An
emergency radio is mainly used in sending signals to international radio
channel or frequency.

7. Life buoys
These are the common life saving appliances present in all small and large
vessels they are fitted around the premier of the ships weather deck are ment
to be thrown rapidly to a person over board
A man over board is a common occurrence and these buoys provide the fastest
aid for flotation in such a case

05/17/2020 Department Of Marine Engineering 12

 Passenger ship minimum number of lifebuoys
length of ship(m) minimum no of life buoys

• 60 and under 120 12

• 120 and under 180 18
• 180 and under 240 12
• 240 and over 30

Cargo ships minimum number of life buoys

• Under 100 8
• 100 and under 150 10
• 150 and under 200 12
• 200 and over 14

05/17/2020 Department Of Marine Engineering 13

 8. IMMERSIONSUITS
Passenger ship shall carry for each life boat on the ship at least three immersion
suits which comply with the regulation in addition a thermal protective aid must
be provided for every person who is to be accommodated in the lifeboats. Who
is not provided with an immersion suit

 MAINTAINANCE AND INSPECTION
MAINTAINANCE OF LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES
The maintainance of the life saving appliances are as follows:

1. Operational readiness
2. Weekly testing and inspection

3. Monthly testing and inspections

4. Three monthly testing and inspection

5. Annual testing and inspection

6. Maintainance of fall fire

7. Periodic servicing of launching appliances and on load release gear

8. Rotational deployment of marine evacuation system

 INTERNSHIP DISSCUSION
• I got a chance to do my internship in MPT goa the best port
• our work place was TUG BOAT called TIRACOL under the guidence of cheif
engineer chandan
• We went for bearthing and unbearthing of ships it was a good experience
in sea
• Then after that we started the watch keeping in tug and observed the
working of staffs during starting the engine
• Then we started to takedown the engine room layout by the guidence of
cheif engineer mr chandan
• Then we learned how to do line tracing
• Then cheif engineer explained us about all life saving appliances
• And we learned about fire prevention and control
• It was one of our best experience of doing our internship in MPT
