Thermal protection in life rafts: assessment of occupant heat balance and development of performance criteria environmental conditions, raft factors and occupant factors
The thermal protection in life rafts project is aimed to: 1. Assess and propose thermal protection requirements for unprotected life raft occupants in a ship abandonment situation, where after evacuating into a liferaft, the occupants sit on the floor. 2. Develop and propose standard test methods to evaluate the thermal protection performance of life rafts. 3. Provide quantitative performance data and practical knowledge to stakeholders to support operational decision-making and inform the activities of vessel operators, marine emergency training providers and SAR planners. The combined impact is to reduce the risk of hypothermia and improve survivability at sea. The important environmental conditions, raft factors and occupant factors determined from literature research are summarized in this report, to enable the project team to select the range of key variables to study. ; Peer reviewed: No ; NRC publication: Yes
