I am not familiar with marine equipment. What does SOLAS mean?


SOLAS equipment means “Safety of Life at Sea.” This essentially means ships above a certain size and capability which have a legal duty to respond to safety and emergency calls. Vessels below a certain size do not. There is also a legal requirement for vessels greater than a certain size to incorporate mandatory safety features. These requirements are complex and you should refer to the SOLAS regulations for further details.
