Q 10: What is EPIRB? How does it activate? What is HRU? How does it operate?
A 10:
An EPIRB is a compact, buoyant, self-contained radio transmitter.
As per SOLAS min 1 no to be carried and as per D.G shipping requirement on INDIAN vessel min 2
no to be carried.
Battery storage life 5 year and weight 2 kg.
It is located on the bridge wing attached with H.R.U.
Capable of floating free and is automatically activated in the event of the ship sinking.
Activated, it continuously emits a distinctive radio signal for a minimum of 48 hours.
An Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon is used to alert search and rescue services in the
event of an emergency.
it does this by transmitting a coded message on the 406.5 MHz distress frequency via satellite and
earth stations to the nearest rescue co-ordination centre.
Some EPIRBs also have built-in GPS which enables the rescue services to accurately locate you to +/50 metres.
406 MHz EPIRBs work with the Cospas-Sarsat polar orbiting satellite system, giving true global
coverage. There is an alert delay of about 45 minutes dependant on when the satellites come into
view on the horizon.
The satellite can determine the position of your EPIRB to within 5km (3 miles). The coded message
identifies the exact vessel to which the EPIRB is registered. This information allows the rescue services
to eliminate false alerts and launch an appropriate rescue.

Q 14: Explain about SCABA and how you will use in emergency?
Q 14 a: How you will pressure test for remaining air in bottle or how you will make alarm?
A 14, 14 a:
A breathing apparatus normally known as the BA set or the SCBA (Self contained Breathing apparatus)
or CABA (Compressed air breathing apparatus) is an equipment used to supply fresh air for human
PREPARED BY : KUNJAL S. SHAH
Page 16
These include:
When entering into an enclosed space
When entering into a space to fight fire
The Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus (CABA):
The equipment is designed on an open-circuit system. The exhaled air is discharged to the atmosphere and
the wearer of this apparatus gets his fresh air from the air cylinder attached to the equipment.
Page 17
If the facemask is dislodged whilst the wearer is in a smoky or toxic atmosphere, it is vital that the wearer
should hold his breath and immediately replace the dislodged mask. If for any reason, there is likelihood
of delay in doing so, the wearer should be evacuated to fresh air at the earliest, even though he may not
feel any ill effects from the few breaths of contaminated air, which he has been forced to inhale.

Function Checks:
Note: If leak detected, open cylinder valve, readjust head harness and retest.
During Use:
Page 19
Maintenance on facemask:
Cleaning: The mask must be cleaned after every use. Do not use any organic solvents such as acetone,
alcohol etc.
Clean the mask with a cloth and lukewarm water mixed with all-purpose detergent. Rinse thoroughly under
running water.
Disinfecting: Disinfect mask after every use. Place mask in disinfectant bath. Only use approved
disinfectants. Excessive disinfectant concentrations and over-long disinfecting times can damage the mask.
Rinse thoroughly under running water.
Drying: Leave to dry in air. Maximum temperature 60C. Keep out of direct sunlight.
Testing: The mask must be tested every time it has been used, repaired or serviced as per manufacturers
instructions.
Visual inspection of the speech diaphragm: The speech diaphragm and O-ring must be clean and
undamaged. If not, clean or replace.
Visual inspection of inhalation valve: The inhalation valve is visible in the mask connector. Check by blowing
into it that both wings of the valve disc move freely. Replace if seized.
Page 20
Visual inspection of exhalation valve: Remove the protective cap from the connector. Press one arm of the
spring clamp inwards and remove the clamp. Hold valve disc by the nipple and lift out of guide. The valve
disc and seat must be clean and undamaged. Clean or replace if necessary. Moisten valve disc with water
and refit. When the seat is
horizontal, the valve disc must slide into the guide under its own weight. Fit spring clamp and spring so that

A 15, 15 a, 15 b, 15 c, 15 d, 15 e, 15 f, 15 g,15 h, 15 i:
Friend this are the most favorite question of all surveyor, he can ask you anything from it.
There are mainly two type of Life raft,
(1) Inflatable (2) Rigid
SOLAS REGULATION:
Inflatable life raft contain inflation cylinder which contain CO 2 Gas.
CO2 gas containing small amount percentage of NITROGEN gas to act as an Anti-freeze,
also CO2 is NON-FLAMMABLE and also weight is more than the AIR hence add buoyancy to
raft,
freezing point of CO2 is -780 c, so it can inflate life raft even at -150 c.
It shall be capable of being inflated by ONE person.
NO life raft shall be Approved which has a carrying capacity of less than 6 person.
The total mass of the life raft with its container and its equipment shall not become more than 180
kg.
Inflation shall be completed within a period of 1 min at an ambient temp. of between 18 0 c to 200 c,
And within a period of 3 min at an ambient temp. of -300 c.
A life raft shall be constructed so as to be capable of withstanding exposure for 30 days afloat in
any sea condition.
A life raft shall be constructed so that when, packed in its container,

Launching life raft by davit make sure always you keep maintaining davit mechanism.
Fi st ou e o e ship s ha d ail o gate.
Unlash the container for launch, REMEMBER INBOARD mark should be ship side.
Lower davit hook and make it lock with lifting shackle.
Secure canister or container lines outboard.
Secure bowsing line.
Pull out approx 5-6 meter of painter line.
Make sure before lifting that hook and brake lanyard are inboard.
Secure painter line.
Now pull full length of painter.
Now lift the life raft canister upto some height.
Now pull the painter and give sharp pull to inflate life raft.
Make sure the opening of canopy means access should be ship side.
Now secure the life raft.
Now one person will go inside to make some check ( make sure you should not wear Sharpe edge
shoes or heels )
Collect SART and EPIRB.
Now go inside life raft and seat evenly.
Now release bowsing line and pass to raft.
Check launching area is clear.
Lower the raft using brake release.
You can operate hook release 1 m above the water or allow the raft to touch the water and load
will reduce from hook and it will release it self.
Now cut painter and use sea anchor or paddle to clear the area immediately.

On load mechanism:
On load mechanism can release the lifeboat from the wire, with the ship above the water level and
with all the crew members inside the boat.
The load will be still on the fall as the boat would not have touched the water. Normally the height
of about 1 m is kept for the on load release, so that the fall is smooth without damaging the boat
and harming the crew inside.
A lever is provided inside the boat to operate this mechanism. As the lever is operated from inside, it
is safe to free the boat without going of the out lifeboat, when there is a fire on ship.
