Red Parachute Rocket

A red parachute‑rocket distress signal that ascends to about 300 m and burns for ~40 seconds, providing a high‑visibility aerial flare compliant with SOLAS requirements. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Distress Signals (Pyrotechnics), and it is normally installed in designated bridge, lifeboat, rescue or emergency-equipment stowage positions. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to attract attention, mark distress or establish a rescue connection during an emergency. Pyrotechnics, emergency lights and line-throwing appliances use different activation methods, so storage, expiry and operating instructions are specific to the approved item. 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: 1 signal. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Expired, moisture-damaged or physically damaged signaling units may fail to activate or perform correctly
Battery or lamp failure on electrical emergency lights causes weak or absent indication
Corroded firing, release or trigger components cause difficult or failed activation
Damaged line, projectile or launcher parts prevent effective line-throwing operation
Poor stowage, missing instructions or inaccessible equipment delays emergency deployment

Service & Maintenance

Inspect packaging, casing, labels, expiry or service status, batteries where fitted and secure accessible stowage. Do not test pyrotechnic or line-throwing devices outside the approved procedure. Confirm crew familiarity and inventory against the vessel safety plan. Refer to manufacturer and statutory documentation for the exact figure for service and replacement criteria.
