Emergency rafts are inflatable devices designed for use in life-threatening situations, such as maritime accidents or emergencies. They provide a safe platform for individuals to stay afloat and await rescue. Typically made from durable materials, these rafts are compact and can be easily deployed from ships or aircraft. These rafts often come equipped with essential survival gear, including flares, water, and first aid kits. They are an important safety feature on many vessels, including cruise ships and fishing boats, ensuring that passengers and crew have a means of survival in case of an emergency at sea.
