life rafts

A life raft is a safety device designed to provide buoyancy and shelter in emergencies at sea. Made from durable, water-resistant materials, it can be quickly deployed when a vessel is sinking or in distress. Once inflated, it offers flotation, stability, and protection against harsh weather conditions, helping people stay afloat and alive until rescue. Life rafts often contain emergency supplies such as water, food, signaling devices, and first aid kits. They are essential safety equipment for ships and boats, ensuring passengers and crew have a chance to survive in maritime emergencies.
