Description

The Red Parachute Flare is a long-range marine distress signal designed to attract attention and help rescuers locate vessels in emergency situations. Suitable for both day and night use, it launches a bright red flare high into the sky, where it is suspended beneath a parachute to provide extended visibility.

Reaching an altitude of approximately 300 metres, the flare burns at an intensity of 30,000 candela for at least 40 seconds, making it an important piece of emergency safety equipment for boats and vessels.

Designed for marine use, parachute flares are an essential addition to onboard safety equipment and can provide a vital visual distress signal when assistance is required at sea.
