Let there be light

Article Abstract:

Searchlights are primarily used for man overboard situations but they can be used for a variety of functions. These include illuminating areas of the shipdeck, lighting up jetties, as a deterrent to would-be pirates and as a guide to a pilot boat. In addition, searchlights are useful when a ship is loading up on provisions. Three factors should be considered when buying searchlights. These are spot/flood coverage, brightness of the lights and pan/tilt angles.

A breath of fresh air: crews may never need to escape from a smoke-filled engine room, but they have to be prepared in case a problem occurs

Article Abstract:

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is contemplating on whether to make escape breathing equipment in machinery spaces a requirement in vessels with multi-level engine rooms. The use of the escape breathing equipment poses some problems for those who wear glasses, have long hair and have facial hair. Three models of breathing equipment as well as their specifications, uses and mechanisms are detailed.
