SOLAS Pack C refers to a standard equipment pack designed for coastal navigation on ships not engaged in international voyages. It includes essential safety and communication devices.
The "SOLAS C PACK" equipment generally includes the following items:
- Medicine box (1 piece)
- Whistle (1 piece)
- Hand flares (1 piece)
- SART radar transponder (1 piece)
These items are intended to provide a basic level of safety and signaling capability for vessels operating closer to shore. While the reference specifies "coastal navigation for ships not engaged on international voyages," it's important to verify the exact regulatory requirements with the relevant maritime authority for the specific region where the vessel operates. SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations often have variations depending on national implementations and vessel size.
