It is designed for the worst case scenario: when a yacht is in danger of sinking due to an accident and has to be abandoned, the BRS system (Boat Rescue System) comes into play. The patented, easy-to-install kit, which will also be unveiled at Metstrade in Amsterdam from November 16-18, 2021, is designed to protect against sinking, fire and marine pollution. SeaHelp recommends the system and uses it aboard its response boats.<\/p>\n

The most unfavorable event that can happen to a yacht crew is when there is an accident on board, water enters, and it is clear that the yacht must be abandoned.<\/p>\n

Not only does the crew now have to watch how to get into the dinghy or get the life raft ready to go as quickly as possible, but often considerable assets are at risk of being destroyed in a matter of minutes, high salvage costs are incurred, and the consequences (as well as the correlating costs) for the environment due to leaking oil and fuel can also be considerable.<\/p>\n

Buyoancy bags can be quickly inflated with a fire extinguisher<\/h2>\n

It’s a good thing that in this scenario you have the rescue kit from the Slovenian company BRS Boat on board. In principle, this kit is a simple but extremely effective system for rescuing ships: inflatable rubber hoses, so-called Buyoancy Bags with a capacity of 850 liters, can be quickly inflated with a standard 2-kilogram C02 fire extinguisher and, thanks to the buoyancy thus increased in an instant, reliably keep the yacht afloat even in the event of a major leak.<\/p>\n

A special adapter to which any commercially available C02 fire extinguisher can be connected helps to quickly inflate the Buyoancy Bags. Like a turbocharger, the bags can thus be filled in record time thanks to multiple passages of the air-C02 mixture.<\/p>\n
