The life raft is usually packaged and stored in a glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tube. The life raft is installed on a special raft frame on the side of the ship. The raft can be thrown directly into the water. The life raft can be automatically inflated and formed for people in distress. If the ship sinks too fast, It is too late to throw the raft into the water. When the ship sinks to a certain depth under the water, the hydrostatic pressure release device on the life raft frame will automatically unhook and release the life raft.
