Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU): an extension of the securing lashing over the inflatable life raft. It will release the life raft automatically if the ship sinks.

Maintenance I. Every life raft should be serviced by a service station approved by the Authority.II. Inflate life raft and HRU must be serviced every 12 monthsIII. When its considered reasonable and proper, the Authority may extend this period to 17 months.

StowageI. A life raft should be stowage with a float free arrangement and the painter permanently secured in a manner to permit correct bunch.II. The stowage should be clear of gangways and gear and preferable amidships.III. The stowage should be in such a form that life rafts can be easily tranfered to either side of the vessel.

EquipmentsAccording to the international organization standardization, most life rafts should have:a. Emergency food rations and drinking waterb. Distress flares and smoke signalc. Fishing kitsd. First aid kitse. Sea sickness medicationf. Other equipment to permit survival for several days to a week.
