1 Life Rafts

Life rafts are inflatable boats that can accommodate a certain number of people in case of a shipwreck or evacuation. They come with survival kits, such as food, water, flares, and first aid supplies. To keep your life rafts in good condition, you should check the expiry date and pressure gauge of the raft and replace or refill it if necessary. Additionally, inspect the raft for any damage, such as tears or corrosion, and use a soap solution to detect any air escaping from the raft. If you see any damage, repair it or replace the raft. Clean the raft with fresh water and mild detergent to get rid of dirt, salt, or algae that may affect its performance or durability. Make sure to dry the raft thoroughly before storing it in a cool, dry, and ventilated place away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. Secure the raft with straps or brackets to prevent it from moving or falling.

LIFERAFTS Raise your expectations following annual maintenance, besides you will never gain access to these units unless in an emergency. So, following an annual service check that the liferafts have been inspected by looking out for new seals, and labeling; on receiving the units check that appear cleaned and well looked after even externally as an indication of a caring subcontractor, look for signs of talc, review the reports with reference to the deficiencies identified.

2 Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are devices that contain a pressurized agent that can put out different types of fires, classified according to the fire class they can handle, such as A, B, C, or D. To maintain your fire extinguishers, you should check the expiry date and pressure gauge and inspect for any damage. Clean the extinguisher with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before storing in an accessible, visible, and secure place. Avoid extreme temperatures, vibrations, or impacts that may damage the extinguisher's valve or cylinder. Mount the extinguisher on a wall or stand to prevent it from tipping or rolling.

Fire extinguishers are the front line in firefighting inside ships. Considering the importance of the first few minutes in fire emergencies, ensuring that fire extinguishers are adequately inspected, maintained and certified is essential to guarantee your ship's safety. I recommend maintaining a reliable registry or all fire extinguishers, their type, last maintenance date and location in order to keep good track of your core firefighting capabilities and plan regular maintenance so you're never caught in a sticky situation. It's also very important to regularly train your crew on fire extinguisher use. Most people need time to familiarize themselves with extinguishers and be able to use them expertly in emergency situations.

With existing technological tools, it is possible to ensure that not only fire extinguishers and rafts are in operating condition. First we make a digital twin of the vessel, then we load the parameters to smart glasses, then the person in charge of routine maintenance and inspection makes the tour (if he does not do it, a message is sent to his boss) so that nothing is missing, with the glasses we take images and / or videos that the conditions of the equipment are optimal.

3 Other Safety Equipment

In addition to life rafts and fire extinguishers, having other safety equipment such as life jackets, flares, emergency radios, and smoke detectors is essential for your safety in an emergency. To maintain these items, you must check the expiry date and battery level of the equipment. If necessary, replace or recharge them. Inspect the equipment for any damage such as cracks, frays, or burns. Use a flashlight to detect any electrical or mechanical faults. If you find any damage, repair it or replace the item. Clean the equipment with a soft cloth to remove dirt, moisture, or residue that may affect its functionality. Store the equipment in a safe, dry place and avoid contact with water, chemicals, or metal objects that may damage it. Label the equipment clearly and arrange it neatly for easy access.
