SEAPOD adds to lifesaving capability

摘要

SEAPOD, an inflatable lifesaving platform manufactured by Salvare Worldwide of the United Kingdom, aims to provide more options for safety at sea by overcoming some limitations of existing liferafts and lifejackets. One example, Brett Westcott, Salvare's CEO, said, was the difficulties often experienced in boarding liferafts while the paramount need was to get people out of the water. "80% of drownings take place within sight of land and most are due to hypothermia," he continued.
