PSAS9872 Ship Abandonment Suit & PPL965 Life Preserver | Integrated Marine Survival System
The Poseidon PSAS9872 Ship Abandonment Suit and PPL965 Pouch Ship Abandonment Life Preserver combine to create a compact, lightweight marine survival system designed for commercial shipping, offshore energy, defence, cruise vessels, and emergency maritime operations. Each product can be purchased and used independently or integrated together as a complete emergency abandonment solution.
Designed for rapid deployment, the system enables two crew members using the Buddy Donning Method to fully don both the survival suit and life preserver in under two minutes, helping maximise survival during emergency evacuations.
