Product Description
Marine Food Ration
Marine food rations are specially developed for the extreme marine emergency environment.
1.Sustaining energy supply
The primary function is to provide sufficient calories and basic nutrients to meet the energy needs of survivors. As required by relevant international standards, each person's allocated food ration must contain no less than 10,000 kJ (equivalent to about 2,500 kcal), which is close to the daily calorie requirement of an adult male. A common form is compact energy bars or biscuits, such as the Seven Oceans standard emergency rations. This kind of ration is usually divided into small detachable pieces, like 9 bars in one pack with each bar split into 3 pieces, allowing survivors to distribute and consume reasonably according to their physical conditions. It supplies key nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins and fats to delay physical exhaustion in harsh sea conditions.
2.Non-thirst-provoking and adaptable formula
Most rations adopt a non-thirst-provoking formula. Since fresh water is extremely scarce in life rafts, this design can avoid increasing the survivors' demand for drinking water after eating, which is crucial for balancing the use of survival supplies. Some products also have a neutral taste like lemon - vanilla to ensure basic palatability, although they do not cater to special dietary needs such as vegetarian or gluten - free options.
3.Long - term preservation and durable packaging
These rations are packaged in vacuum - sealed materials that are airtight and waterproof. They can resist the humid and salty marine environment without deterioration. Generally, their shelf life can reach 3 - 5 years, and some specialized products can even be preserved for 7 years under suitable storage conditions. The robust packaging also prevents damage during the deployment of the life raft, such as when it is thrown into the sea or collided with waves.
4.Easy to use without additional processing
The rations are ready - to - eat without the need for cooking or any additional processing. This is critical in life rafts where there are no cooking facilities. Survivors can eat them directly after opening the package, which saves physical strength and avoids unnecessary risks caused by trying to process food in the harsh marine environment.

Fresh Drinking Water
Fresh drinking water is a more critical survival material than food for people in life rafts, as humans can only survive for a short time without water. Its functions are focused on maintaining the water balance of the human body and supporting normal physiological operations.
1.Maintaining water balance and physiological functions
It directly meets the basic drinking needs of survivors to prevent dehydration. International standards stipulate that the allocation of fresh drinking water for life rafts is 1.5 liters per person, which is different from the 3 liters per person standard for lifeboats. This amount is formulated based on the survival cycle of life rafts and the storage space limitations. It can sustain the normal operation of key physiological functions such as metabolism and body temperature regulation of survivors, and reduce the risks of organ failure and other life - threatening problems caused by dehydration.
2.Complementary with emergency water - making equipment
In some high - standard life rafts, the fresh water supply can be complemented by supporting equipment. For example, 0.5 liters of the 1.5 - liter per person water quota can be replaced by desalination devices or seawater - purification tablets. This combination function ensures that when the pre - stored fresh water is insufficient, survivors can obtain additional drinkable water through on - site purification, thus extending the survival time.
3.Stable storage and easy distribution
The fresh water is stored in durable, leak - proof and light - proof containers to prevent contamination by seawater and deterioration due to sunlight exposure. Meanwhile, life rafts are usually equipped with graduated rustproof drinking cups, which help survivors control their water intake reasonably, avoid waste, and ensure that the limited water supply can support the entire group until rescue comes.
In addition to the above core functions, both supplies must be marked with clear labels such as production date and shelf life. They are also subject to regular inspection and replacement as part of the life raft's maintenance to ensure they can function normally in emergencies.
