Abstract
In order to reduce the risk of deaths from hypothermia at sea, this paper suggests the performance criteria of life rafts for small fishing vessels less than 20 m in length. In our country, the life rafts are not used and have no performance criteria. This research compared the performance criteria of the domestic, foreign, international standards, and the performance comparison between foreign life rafts and the user-friendly valise prototype(2 & 4 persons) which is developed by this study. As a result, it is considered to be appropriate that ISO 9650-1 can be applied to the life rafts for offshore fishing vessels while a milder criteria can be applied to the life rafts for coastal fishing vessels.
