The Silzig buoy is a quick to set up, compact rescue device that can be used for 3 applications:
- Buoyancy aid to replace a crown buoy or a horseshoe buoy
- Towing the man overboard to the boat
- Hoisting on board by adapted handles
Assisting a man overboard becomes possible in all weather conditions. With the SILZIG passed under the armpits and closed on the front, the hoisting on board becomes possible without the help of a hoist or a ladder. The presence of 2 rigid handles (50 mm tubular polyester webbing) makes it easier for the crew members to take hold of the boat and bring the wrecked person back on board.
- Option: Marking of the ship's name
Since 9 February 2007, the SILZIG® lifebuoy has been MMF (Marine Marchande Française) approved by the Bureau Veritas. The modification of the decree of 23 November 1987 dated 10 October 2006 (Official Journal 253 of 31 October 2006) allows the SILZIG® to replace the horseshoe buoy on vessels covered by division 224 and is therefore accepted by the maritime authorities.
