Inflatable offshore life jackets with automatic inflation systems and harness integration are commonly used for offshore yacht operations and long-distance cruising.
Are SOLAS-approved life jackets required on yachts?
Requirements vary depending on vessel type, operational area, and maritime regulations, but SOLAS-approved life jackets are commonly required for commercial and offshore operations
How often should inflatable life jackets be serviced?
Inflatable life jackets should be inspected regularly and serviced according to manufacturer recommendations to ensure proper inflation and operational reliability.
