Overview
The Man Overboard MK9 compact lifebuoy marker can be used day or night to mark the position of a man overboard. The marker produces dense orange smoke for 15 minutes and features two self-contained, inversion switched LED lights which far exceed SOLAS requirements.
Ships are required to carry 2 markers, one mounted on each bridge wing with the brackets supplied and attached by line to a 4kg lifebuoy. The signal can be automatically deployed by releasing the attached lifebuoy or manually activated.
