Your complete guide to maritime lifesaving appliances. Understanding your gear is the first step to survival at sea.
🤝 Collective Lifesaving Appliances
When abandoning ship, this is your group's safe haven. These are designed for rapid deployment and to protect everyone on board.
- Lifeboats 🚤 The primary means of escape. Modern lifeboats are often fully enclosed, self-righting, and equipped with engines and essential survival supplies to endure the open water..
- Inflatable Life Rafts 🟠 Compactly stored and rapidly deployable. These rafts inflate automatically and provide shelter, stability, and visibility with their bright orange canopies and water-activated lights..
- Rescue Boats ⛑️ Fast and maneuverable, these boats are crucial for retrieving persons from the water and for marshalling life rafts. A key tool in any rescue operation..
- 👤 Individual Lifesaving Appliances - Your personal line of defense. This equipment is designed to keep you afloat, visible, and protected from the elements..
- Life Jackets 🦺 Essential for survival. Designed to keep your head above water even if unconscious. Equipped with a whistle, retroreflective tape, and a light for detection..
- Lifebuoys ⭕ For "man overboard" emergencies. These buoyant rings are thrown to a person in the water and are often equipped with self-igniting lights and smoke signals for day and night visibility..
- Immersion Suits 🧤 Your protection against hypothermia. These waterproof suits cover the entire body, providing insulation in cold water and increasing survival time significantly.
Be Prepared, Not Scared 👨🏫
Knowing your alarms, muster stations, and how to use the equipment is not just a rule—it's your lifeline. Regular drills and proper training ensure you can act decisively when it matters most.

The section on immersion suits and hypothermia prevention is solid. The rest is okay too.

This is a solid course with great content on maritime lifesaving equipment. The explanations of lifeboats and rescue boats were clear, and the checklist of actions is something I’ll keep on hand. I would’ve liked more interactive simulations to practice deploying life rafts or using lifebuoys. That said, the price is very affordable at just $17, making it a great option for seafarers on a budget.

Excellent course that gets straight to the point! The training on using lifejackets and life rafts was incredibly thorough, and I appreciated the focus on real-world scenarios like man-overboard situations. The section on immersion suits and hypothermia prevention was a game-changer. The AI features kept me engaged, and I feel ready to act decisively in an emergency.

Really well-done training! The module covered everything I needed to know about collective and individual lifesaving appliances, from lifebuoys to immersion suits. The videos were short but packed with useful details, especially on rescue boat operations. The hands-on approach to learning muster stations and alarms was spot-on. This is a must-take course for any seafarer!

A decent course for its $17 price, which makes it accessible. The explanations for lifeboats are clear, but without interactive simulations for using them, it's just theory. It's suitable for a general overview.
Aug. 6, 2025, 8:11 a.m.
It felt like you were actually preparing to abandon ship. The AI simulations made me nervous, but now I feel calmer for myself and the crew. The practice for alarm procedures is a separate plus.

This course is fantastic for anyone needing to master survival craft and rescue boats! The content on lifeboats and inflatable life rafts was clear and practical, with great explanations of how to deploy and use them in emergencies. The AI simulations made it feel like I was actually preparing to abandon ship.

Excellent course, all to the point. The bleeding control module and the information on using the ship's medical chest were especially helpful. I received the certificate right after the test. I recommend it.
