Line Throwing Apparatus LTA
A pyrotechnic line‑throwing apparatus that launches a line up to 230 m using four ready‑to‑fire rockets, meeting SOLAS requirements for man‑overboard rescue and emergency signaling. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Line-Throwing Apparatus, 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: 230m range. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
