The works of this tool is by pressing hydrostatic release units which contained in one part of the life raft. Cara kerja alat ini adalah dengan menekan hydrostatic release unit yang terdiri darisatu bagian pada life raft.

Hydrostatic Release Unit

By pressing this part, automatically life raft will fall into the water and expands, after expanding perfectly then the tool is ready to use.

4. EPIRB

EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) is placed in the free area of obstruction like on the bridge. After the ship sank the tools automatically detached from the stand and float in the surface water. Then this tool automatically will emit a signal that is captured by the satellite INMARSAT (International Mobile Satellite Organization.).This signal will be forward to the beach station, so the position of the ship will be known immediately.

Scheme of ERIPB signal 5. RADAR TRANSPONDER This tool looks like a EPIRB but actually the tool is much different with the Erips although they function is almost same.

This tool also will emit the signal; here is the different between transponder radar with Eripb signal. Eripb signal only capable to capture by the radar of the ships around this tool and later the ship which receive this signal can provide helping directly.

Radar transponder 6. IMMERSION SUIT Immersion suit is use to prevent the wearer get the loss of the body heat of hypothermia after they oscillate at the sea, because they wait for helping that never came.

7. PYROTECHNICS

10

Pyrotechnics is used to attract the visual attention of the rescuers because these tools emit light or smoke, so rescuers can see clearly and immediately
