Technical Description
The rescue quoit is one of the simplest and most effective rescue devices used onboard maritime vessels. Its compact and lightweight design allows for quick and accurate throwing towards a person in the water, while the 30-metre floating line provides sufficient reach for most rescue situations in open water and lifeboats.
The high-visibility orange floating ring facilitates location of the equipment by both the casualty and the rescue team, even under adverse sea conditions and reduced visibility. The 8mm line offers adequate tensile strength to withstand the pulling effort during rescue, while remaining lightweight and easy to handle by the operator.
As mandatory equipment on vessels subject to SOLAS standards and IMO regulations, the IMPA 330212 quoit is part of the standard life-saving equipment kit for lifeboats (BSV), and must be periodically inspected and replaced in accordance with the timelines defined by the competent maritime authorities.
