SOS Dan Buoy

A self‑inflating man‑over‑board (MOB) buoy that deploys a high‑visibility flag and inflates automatically via a CO₂ cartridge when released. The supplied category identifies the equipment as MOB Equipment, and it is normally installed in approved emergency lockers, muster stations, deck positions or personal issue locations. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to provide flotation, thermal protection, recovery assistance or immediate man-overboard response. Life jackets, immersion suits, lifebuoys and recovery devices serve different personal-survival roles, so size, donning, buoyancy and deployment requirements must follow the approved item documentation. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. The source metadata also states capacity: N/A. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
