Not less than half of total number of lifebuoys shall be provided with self
igniting light. Not less than two of these lifebuoys shall also be fitted with
self-activating smoke signals. At least one lifebuoy should be placed in
the vicinity of the stern.
Lifebuoys should be distributed so as to be readily available on both sides

way so that they can be rapidly cast loose and should not be permanently
secured. Each lifebuoy shall be marked with block capitals of the Roman
alphabet with Name and Port of Registry of Ship. The number of
Lifebuoys required depends on the length of the vessel as follows :
Cargo Ships :
1. Vessel’s length less than 100 metres = 8 lifebuoys. 2. Vessel’s length
greater than 100 metres = 10 lifebuoys. 3. Length of Vessel greater than
150 metres = 12 lifebuoys. 4. Vessel’s length greater than 200 metres =
14 lifebuoys.
Passenger Ship:
1. Vessel’s length under 60 metres = 8 lifebuoys. 2. Vessel’s length more
than 60 metres but less than 120 metres = 12 lifebuoys. 3. Length of a
vessel greater than 120 metres but less than 180 metres = 18 lifebuoys.
4. Vessel’s length more than 180 metres but less than 240 metres = 24
lifebuoys. 5. Vessel’s length greater than 240 metres = 30 lifebuoys.
