CORRECT USE OF HYDROSTATIC RELEASE UNITS
The Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) is designed and approved to automatically deploy a life raft or EPIRB in the event of a vessel sinking.
HRUs operate between 1.5 and 4 metres of water depth, to release the securing mechanism for the life raft or EPIRB.
AMSA inspectors often identify circumstances where HRUs are incorrectly fitted. In 2021, AMSA has issued over 100 deficiencies in relation to deficient HRU arrangements on life-rafts and float-free EPIRBs.
