Marsafe is developing a new system for the release of lifejackets on board ships; the Auto-Release Lifejacket Container, ALC. Today’s lifejacket containers are sealed and the problem arises if a ship sinks without anyone opening the containers manually, resulting in several hundred lifejackets going down with the ship. Marsafe has developed a new system that enables lifejackets in the containers to be released automatically if the container has not been opened manually before it hits the sea.
