“EPIRB” stands for Emergency Position Indicator Radio fire. RLS play an important role in maritime safety. The system consists of a global network of satellites, the authorities in case of an accident makes it easier to draw the attention of water. The system is able to provide your exact Lat. Lon. EPIRB location at sea by the transmission of a digital signal on the plight of the international signal of 406 MHz

Emergency Beacons

find three types.1). Emergency position indicating radio beacons.2) ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) for aircraft distress.3 RLS signal) PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) for personal use

1). EPIRB sends a distress signal that can be recognized by a worldwide satellite network. They are mainly used to send distress signals for marine disasters or accidents. You are in yachts, boats and ships are used, both passengers and sport boats yachts carry

2) ELT. These are used to transmit distress signals in a plane crash. Emitting a distress signal and 121.5 MHz, 243.0 MHz frequency. The ELT automatically activated by impact or can also be activated manually. They are designed for use on aircraft

3) PLB. Personal Locator Beacons are very useful for hiking adventurers who travel or far away from human settlements. They are ideal in terms of safety during the journey at sea. They operate on the same principle as RLS.

All channels must be registered with the owner to be affective.

Jackets are devices that keep a person afloat with their head above water. Are mandatory for all ships and vessels, the passengers. It is the easiest way to ensure survival at sea, in the event of a disaster. They are usually made of lightweight material such as foam. Inflatable seat belts is also in security measures at sea very popular.

Life Rafts are also an option

confidence in a maritime disaster. You must be inflated before the peace of mind and use the results of presence. Some boats will automatically inflate when submerged in water.

Kits

security an integral part of any safety equipment. Some of the devices used in safety devices manufactured:

1) Security kit2 Mustang) Revere Security KIT3) Adventure kit4 medical safety) Safety Kit Coleman

Security Mustang kit is easy to use and useful in providing flotation assistance to drown a person.

fire alarm installations in ships is of critical importance. Fire hazards caused by many reasons. Special protective equipment for fire alarm and smoke caused by highly flammable materials needed such as propane, diesel and gasoline. Early detection can help in controlling the physical damage to ships and the loss of human life. The early detection of CO2 has also saved many lives.
