Diferencia entre revisiones de «Bote salvavidas»

 

Los botes salvavidas hinchables pueden estar equipados con bombonas de [[dióxido de carbono]] o bombas mecánicas para facilitar su hinchado. De esta forma, un mecanismo hincha rápidamente el bote al tiempo que lo libera del buque madre. Los aviones comerciales están obligados a portar botes salvavidas hinchables en caso de un [[amerizaje]] de emergencia. También se tienen en plataformas petrolíferas y similares.

These are large [[whaleboat]]s designed to be lowered from [[davit]]s on a ship's deck. They are designed to be unsinkable, with buoyancy that cannot be damaged. They have a cover that can be erected to form a storm shelter and sunshade. The cover can usually collect rainwater, and is visible from the air. They usually carry flares and mirrors for signaling, three days of food and water, oars, an engine, heater and basic navigational equipment.

 

The [[International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea]] (SOLAS) and the [[International Life-Saving Appliance Code]] (LSA) require a specific list of emergency equipment to be carried on each lifeboat and liferaft used on international voyages. Modern lifeboats should also carry an [[Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon]] (EPIRB) and either a [[radar reflector]] or [[search and rescue radar transponder]].
