Résumé
This report describes the results of an experimental investigation of the seakeeping characteristics of liferafts. The tests were exploratory in nature, to identify some of the factors or inherent design features that influence the survivability of an International Maritime Organization (IMO) canister-type inflatable liferaft (12-20 person capacity) in extreme wind and waves. In addition the program also investigated some potential modifications that improve the safety of the liferafts in extreme seas. The liferaft parameters that were investigated included the effects of free surface flood water, personnel loading, personnel distribution, ballast pocket operation, canopy operation and drogue type and operation.
