Pyrotechnics

The weather cannot be predicted one hundred per cent, therefore, unfortunately, sometimes emergency situations occur in which sailors have to fight for survival.
In cases where a person is overboard, it is necessary to indicate its position in the water. For this, ship pyrotechnics and other life-saving equipment are used.
