The SSME-II Marine Survival Suit is a premium neoprene-insulated immersion suit designed for cold-water maritime emergencies. Compliant with the 1974 SOLAS Convention (1996 Amendment), CCS, and EC (MED) standards, it protects personnel from hypothermia when abandoning sinking or capsized vessels. Made of 5mm neoprene, it combines waterproof sealing, buoyancy, and warmth—critical for survival in temperatures as low as 0℃.
• Superior Warmth Retention: Maintains core body temperature (≤2℃ drop) after 6 hours in 0–2℃ water, significantly extending survival time.
• Built-In Buoyancy: 150N buoyancy from an integrated pillow eliminates the need for a separate life jacket, reducing donning time.
• Quick Donning: Can be worn in ≤2 minutes, even in emergency conditions (e.g., dark, rough seas).
The suit is made of 5mm closed-cell neoprene, which is waterproof, windproof, and highly insulating. The neoprene’s elasticity allows full body movement (e.g., swimming, climbing into life rafts), while its durability resists tearing from sharp objects (e.g., ship debris).
• Waterproof Zipper: A heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant zipper (with a storm flap) prevents water intrusion at the front.
• Sealed Cuffs & Ankles: Elasticized cuffs and ankle gaskets (made of neoprene) seal out water, keeping the body dry even during prolonged immersion.
• Hood Integration: A built-in hood (with a face seal) protects the head and neck from cold water, reducing heat loss by 40%.
• SOLAS Reflective Tape: High-visibility reflective tape on the chest, back, and arms enhances detection by rescue teams (visible up to 1km at night).
• Floating Line: A 10m floating line attached to the suit allows connection to life rafts or other survivors, preventing separation in rough seas.
• Three-Finger Gloves: Integrated neoprene gloves keep hands warm and functional, enabling tasks like holding ropes or operating rescue equipment.
Container ships often operate in cold oceans (e.g., North Atlantic, Arctic). If a ship sinks, the suit protects crew members from hypothermia during the wait for rescue (typically 6–12 hours). Its buoyancy pillow keeps the head above water, even if the crew is unconscious.
LNG carriers operate in extreme cold conditions. The suit’s insulation ensures crew safety if they fall into the water during cargo loading/unloading or ship maintenance. The reflective tape aids detection by LNG terminal rescue teams.
Workers on offshore oil platforms in cold regions (e.g., North Sea) wear the suit during emergency evacuations. Its quick-donning design allows workers to escape rapidly, while the floating line ensures they stay connected to evacuation rafts.
