Title: Sea Safe Pod
Statement: The Sea Safe Pod (SSP) is a marine safety device designed to provide emergency support for unplanned rapid evacuation of motor and sailing vessels. The device provides flotation for up to four users through gripped side handles, while storing all legally required safety equipment and other essentials. All contents are illuminated by inbuilt LEDs. The SSP automatically floats to the surface when a vessel is submerged, due to its inbuilt buoyancy. If the SSP were to be manufactured for commercial sales it would be constructed using injection moulding and made from polypropylene homopolymer plastic.
