LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket
Besides sinking, there’s almost nothing more frightening than a fire aboard your boat. For many types of isolated boat fires, smothering is an effective suppression technique — except if a lithium-ion battery is burning. The LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket from Sea-Fire Marine is specifically engineered to withstand extremely high temperatures for prolonged periods, as well as contain expelled debris and shrapnel commonly encountered with lithium-ion battery fires. The LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is incapable of igniting and has been independently tested and verified for prolonged direct flame contact and use at temperatures up to 2,552° F. Reusable, it’s ideal for refractory flame deflection and suppressing multiple lithium-ion battery fires. Foldable and easy to store, the LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is manufactured using a fully oxidized woven fabric with a high silica glass fiber content and includes a storage bag. Integrated handling loops make the device simple to deploy. Sea-Fire’s LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket comes in four sizes: 6 feet by 6 feet, 9 feet by 9 feet, 12 feet by 12 feet, and 19 feet by 26 feet. www.sea-fire.com

ODEO SOS Flare
Marine safety equipment manufacturer, Daniamant, recently introduced their new ODEO SOS Flare to their range of electronic visual distress signals (eVDS). The ODEO SOS is certified to meet US Coast Guard requirements, which means it can be used instead of pyrotechnic flares in some countries (USA, Tasmania, Australia, and Finland). The light provides a high intensity internationally recognized SOS morse signal, ideal for sailors, maritime professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts. Utilizing powerful LED lighting technology, the ODEO offers enhanced visibility via an impressive 2500cd peak equivalent output, ensuring that distress signals are easily spotted, even in challenging conditions and low visibility environments. Its user-friendly, ergonomic design and intuitive controls make it easy to use, allowing boaters to activate the distress signal quickly and efficiently, even in high-pressure situations with cold, gloved hands. The unit is waterproof to 5 meters and has been tested at depths of 50 meters, and its lithium battery lasts up to 9 hours. www.daniamant.com
