The Liferaft SOLAS OCEANO Throw Overboard is a critical safety device designed for use on commercial vessels engaged in international voyages. With a capacity to support 35 persons, it is an essential piece of equipment for ensuring the safety and survival of crew and passengers in emergency situations. The liferaft is identified by the code 79912 and is part of the Pack B series, which indicates the type of emergency supplies included within the raft. It weighs 148 kilograms and has dimensions specified by the codes A, B, C, D, and E, which correspond to the length, width, and height of the raft when packed.
 
Constructed with a GRP canister, the liferaft is designed to be durable and withstand harsh marine environments. The rubber fabric used is robust, ensuring that the raft remains intact and serviceable even after being thrown overboard into the sea. The double chambered tubes provide additional buoyancy and security, making the raft reliable in all conditions. The stowage height of up to 36 meters, with a painter line-up extending to 46 meters, allows for flexible deployment from various ship heights.
 
An insulated floor is a key feature for low-temperature conditions, offering protection against hypothermia, which can be a significant risk in cold waters. The high visibility canopy is equipped with SOLAS reflective tapes, making the raft easier to spot by rescuers during search and rescue operations. This feature is crucial for increasing the chances of survival and quick recovery of individuals in distress.
The liferaft is fully operational in a wide range of temperatures, from -30°C to +65°C, ensuring functionality in both polar and tropical conditions. This versatility is vital for vessels traveling through different climatic zones. The design and construction of the Liferaft SOLAS OCEANO Throw Overboard reflect a comprehensive approach to maritime safety, combining durability, visibility, and operational reliability to support life-saving efforts at sea.
