Have an Iridium, VHF or SSB
handheld radio aboard? What about a portable GPS? Create an Abandon ship electronics grab bag that is waterproof, floats and will survive a fire.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Buy a Pelican Case
- Stencil it with the ship’s Name
- Apply Solas Reflect Tape
- Laminate copies of the electronics’ manual
- Print and Laminate a list of emergency contact numbers
That’s pretty much it.
