[Life-saving equipment on board]
Life-saving equipment on a ship can be broadly divided into three categories: lifesaving appliances, signaling devices, and launching devices. Of these, lifesaving appliances are the basic tools for protecting human lives, and include lifeboats and life rafts for group use, and life jackets for individual use. Life jackets, also called life jackets, come in a variety of styles, including those made of buoyant materials such as kapok and those that inflate with gas, and also in a variety of shapes, including pillow-shaped, vest-shaped, and neck-hanging types.
