LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES (LSA)
That’s a very important topic in maritime safety! LIFE SAVING APPLIANCES (LSA) are the equipment carried on ships to protect passengers and crew in case of an emergency, particularly if the vessel needs to be abandoned.
The requirements for LSA are primarily governed by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), specifically Chapter III, and detailed in the International Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code from the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
