Marine safety products in Sri Lanka that help crews work safely every day

By EZZAH AQSA · Last updated: 29 November 2025 Estimated read: 4 minutes

TL;DR for this article

  • Marine safety products only help if they match your vessel, equipment and trade.
  • Sharing existing brands and approvals reduces the risk of wrong or rejected items.
  • Arc Ship supplies safety products and related spares to vessels calling Sri Lankan ports.

What marine safety products usually cover for vessels in Sri Lanka

Marine safety products include more than lifejackets and signs. They also cover the personal protective equipment, firefighting items and consumables that crews use on every watch.

Examples of safety products owners request

  • PPE such as coveralls, gloves, helmets and safety footwear suitable for marine use
  • Signage, tapes and markings that match IMO and company requirements
  • Basic firefighting and first response items that support your FFE systems
  • Spare parts linked to lifesaving appliances and safety systems

For a service overview, see the marine safety products Sri Lanka page .

Why matching approvals and brands matters

Safety items are not always interchangeable. A product that looks similar in a catalogue may not have the same approvals as the one already in use on board.

  • Class and flag may accept only certain brands for specific safety functions
  • Mixing equipment can complicate inspections and crew training
  • Wrong or non approved items often end up unused in the store
  • Correct documentation saves time when inspectors ask for evidence
Sharing photos of labels, existing brands and any type approval data reduces the risk of supplying items that your office or Class has to reject.

How marine safety products link to LSA and FFE servicing

Safety products do not sit alone. They are part of a wider safety picture that includes lifesaving appliances, firefighting systems and crew routines.

  • Replacement items can be aligned with upcoming life saving appliances servicing
  • PPE and signage can reflect recent changes in your company procedures
  • Spare parts can be delivered together with technical attendance where needed
